So I tried for this card back in June I think when the revamp launched with the $100 bonus. I was denied because I closed all my past Sync accounts. I kept trying to reapply but I was being told I was ineligible every time I logged into my account even though I was getting preselected emails on a weekly basis. I opened up a Sync Amazon in July for the elevated $200 bonus and have been using that for small purchases here and there. Finally today, I saw the email, I was in a good mood from a nice weekend, so I rolled the dice. Bam! Instant approval. And for a whopping limit and the lowest APR too! 655389AB-2240-440C-B513-33719235F23B.png They pulled TU, score around 770 or so. 3 HPs, $1200 or so reporting revolving debt. I was 5/12, 12/24. Reported income ~$20K. Now I see that Sync has added email notifications to the PayPal Cashback card so I’ll actually use it for PayPal transactions once my Disco 5% ends this month.

Thanks man! It's crazy how much Sync seems to like my profile. I've had some real crazy limits with them considering my low income. I mean I'm only ~$1900 from my annual income again and I only have two cards with them and one of them has a less than $2K limit. Of course it does kind of suck that they gave me such a large limit because now I don't want to poke the bear and ask for more on the Amazon card lol. I guess I'll just use the Chase if I have a large purchase.

Great approval and strong SL! You're TCL has got to be top notch relative to income out of anyone out there. I'll declare you the unofficial TCL to income ratio champion until I hear of something greater!

Thanks! I think the only one I have seen with more than me with similar income was AJC but he applied for basically everything whereas I actually am pretty selective with my applications. I will have to get a new TCL figure as my current one listed here is missing a few new cards (and so is my signature).

Yeah if you figure it out definitely report back your TCL expressed as a multiple of your income. I'm curious to know and need to know the benchmark for Champion status in that category going forward ;)

So somehow my math was off on my old signature because I thought 200K was too high and did the math again direct from my credit report. TCL = $187,650. So only ~9.41x. Boooooo!! lol

Still though, yeah, it's insane what I have been able to pull off and still have ACL over $8K.

Uhhhh…(cough, cough). I really hate getting into specifics, but unless someone goes higher, thats 2d place. >x10. But, definitely in the ultra minority, I actually have not found anyone as high as @Saeren , well besides one. Actually I am floored and very impressed, but I can say that I somewhat expected it from @Saeren! Well done

Keep in mind that I was actually over $200K TCL before thanks to a lot of Sync exposure and I downsized myself so I definitely have been beyond 10x before. I don't know what it is about my profile that these banks like but it does make me wonder if I applied for everything that came to my knowledge like others have, but still didn't have any real debt to speak of, what my results would have been. It's just too much hassle to manage so many accounts and, in fact, I was considering closing some cards actually.

Yes I recall I’ve kept an eye on yours and been very proud of you and impressed with you. We started together and we learned together and we grew together. And all I can say is you have done an excellent job and I don’t think you could’ve done much better. Your work has been superb. You know you can’t grow too quickly and you’re right, it can be very overwhelming when it comes to the management. Likewise, mine could also be a lot higher, as I could’ve applied for more. I have not even kept up on my CLIs like I should, to be honest. But like you said having that many is a lot of management and takes a toll and with my lack of energy over the last year, well let’s just say I’m glad my energy is returning. Matter fact I need to evaluate and do some CLIs. And I need to join those credit unions I should’ve joined a year ago.
