SYNCB/AMAZON Hard Inquiry Out of Nowhere

[dddewdrop]

I have a Walmart Credit Card. All of a sudden SYNCB/AMAZON hard pulled my credit out of nowhere. I have had the credit card for years. Why did this happen? Should I call them?

Thanks,

Dave

Did you apply for a CL recentlyI?
Are you sure it was a HP and not a SP by chance?

Did you by any chance not use your card for awhile, then use for a bigger purchase out of the blue?

Have you checked into the possibility of ID theft?

If you have not asked for a CLI, then something is up. There is still a possibility that they pulled your credit for another related reason, but you want to get to the bottom of it to make sure there isn't a bigger issue.

Calling them would be a good idea. If they did actually pull it, they need to be able to give you the reason why.

Synchrony's been doing a lot of unusual hard pulls lately. But this one's different. The others have come about three days after the initial hard pull for approval of a new card. Definitely call, ask what's up, and request that the pull be re-coded to soft.

Any chance you've been recently upgraded from a store card to a Visa/MasterCard?

When they converted DW it was a no pull  or sp only.  I think its an id problem or request for cli

I applied for a credit card with them on Sunday and they did a HP to approve me and then yesterday they tried to do another HP but I had already locked my report so it just alerted me that they attempted to. I called and tried to find out why and they couldn’t really give me an answer. One lady said they do another HP when they issue the credit line but that made no sense to me. I’m just happy the report was locked and I didn’t get an extra pull. But I still don’t know why for sure.

Approved the other day and also got 2 inquiries on TU! 1 from Amazon/Sync at time of approval then another from Sync the following day! What in the world is up with that?!

I've never heard of this. Sync has been upgrading the Amazon store card to a Visa/Mastercard?
