How long do you have to have a Sync card before the luv button shows up? I want to get my Amazon growing ASAP. 


The love button usually shows up after a month but waiting a few months  to hit it up getd the best shot of an CLI. People have gotten increases after a month though, so it's a YMMV kinda thing. 


Cool, I will ask them in March. I want my score to go back up to 700. It was 654 when they approved me for $1800 instantly though and given my $8000 instant approval for PayPal not even 2 weeks later when my TU hit 706, I would think I should be able to get a decent increase on the Amazon card in short order. I just want it to be up to $5000 by next year because new TV time. Smiley Very Happy


My Amazon card was stuck at my $800 SL for almost 2 years, they wouldn't budge but then my TU went up to 674 and they gave me $5K, I was like FINALLY lol.   So you should be golden for $5K with over 700 Smiley Happy


Yeah I think my PayPal approval set the bar for what Sync likes with TU, especially since it was so close behind the Amazon card. You could have knocked me over with a nanotube when I saw that PayPal SL!


Sometimes they make no sense though because I was also stuck at $500 SL on my Care Credit for 3 years then in October they upped it to $6K but my TU was only 644.  And just last week they upped it again to $12K TU at 686.  And each time I had asked for less but they just gave me more. I asked for $5K the first time they gave me 6, I asked for $10K this time and they gave me 12...LOL  But hey I'll take it.  




In the garden until 2020

Howdy Y'all. It's only 22:15 here on the left coast. GC party appears to have started without me. No worries though, Adkins, Saeren, and I will just have to eat all the cookies.

I'm off to play catch-up with the tail end of the January thread.

Please pick your brother up at Backwoods's house on your way back.

I bought some girl scout cookies today. Not sorry. 


Which ones? 


Savannah smiles, thin mints and samoas. 


What is a savannah smile? I have not heard of this one before!


https://www.littlebrowniebakers.com/products/savannah-smiles/


Omg! I would go to town on those. 🤤 


They are seriously yummy! And I've just eaten 3/4 of the box, which is why I only get a couple boxes and that's it. No self control when it comes to them. I'll have the DH hide the second box. (I do this every year!)


Yeah those actually sound out of this world awesome... I am gonna have to get some.

Sync and Comenity both have rather odd limit extensions. Like my buddy has a $27,000 Overstock (Comenity) card. Who spends $27K at OS?!
