Wow! Bad customer service, worse online experience. I got dinged on my credit because I could not get the account set up and the payment was late. Then the customer service told be to call a different number which was disconnected after 1.5 hrs on the phone. Do not use this bank and or Care Credit!

This is one screwed up bank. I applied for a Lowe's credit card which is issued by Synchrony Bank, and they turned my down even though my credit score is over 800, I have no debt, and my income is in excess of $400,000 per year. When I asked why I had been turned down, the only response that I was given was that I had to wait seven to ten days for a letter from them. I wrote to Lowe's and told them that they need to find a new credit card partner.

Online service are the worst. Have several credit cards from various banks, the three I have with synchrony Bank are the biggest pain to pay. Sure there is the pay as guest feature they throw at us, but I like how all the other banks have reliable app services.. The one app I have available is for care credit and it is glitchy and always forgets my information so I have to go through a myriad of steps to get back into which defeats the purpose of the app. Don't bother calling customer service over anything, more than a 40min wait everytime and they are always less than helpful.

Never sent statements and reported me for missed payments. Got that straightened out, but then they still NEVER sent me a statement. They also said they were sending me a Discount Tire credit card. It never came. VERY long wait each time I called them, and finding a number to call on their website s VERY hard! Since all of my accounts with them are with store credits and Paypal. I will be paying them off ASAP and dropping those store credit cards as fast as I can. Goodbye Walmart, Discount Tire, and Paypal. I'll use my other credit cards that have better customer service.

Not good at all! they close all Credit cards, there reason:( High risk of not pay back) WOW mind you 3 of those accounts had a zero balance and the rest had very low balance on them were they get this Ridiculous reason that’s my million dollar question. I Have a 100% pay history for a long time if they don’t appreciate my business it’s time for them to go other banks will appreciate my business.

I was recently informed by Credit Karma that one of my Synchrony bank card accounts was closed. When I logged in to verify this, I found that Synchrony closed the account for inactivity. While they *may* be within their contractual rights to do so, doing so without notifying their customers seems like a shady and deadbeat move. I won't tolerate banks like this toying with consumer's credit files. Any relationships with Synchrony, via store cards, PayPal, and alike, are now severed.

The worst experience so far is that instead of closing my 12 month CD and depositing the money in my local WFB account as I asked them to do via phone..they actually went and withdrew that exact amount from my WFB checking and added it to and renewed the existing Synchrony CD..can you believe that..?? wow..my head is still swirling..trying to solve it..complained to my senator.

If I could give them no stars, I would. WHAT KIND OF A BANK IS IT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE AN ONLINE PAYMENT? They charge any additional fee they can. Made a payment over the phone, got a confirmation number and days later they claimed no payment was made. Had a payment automatically draw from my bank 5 days prior to the due date. They can’t even manage posting payments in a timely manner. RUDE customer service with an attitude. Do not deal with this horrible bank!!

This company is a sham! I have made on time payments since having this card (about 2 years). I decide to pay in full so I can do a little shopping, just to look at my account and see my credit limit dropped from 1,000 to 350.00. The rage I felt was so unreal. I tried to give it time and see if the company would fix this but has given me a hard time since. Balance paid off, card CLOSED! It is not worth the stress.

I WILL MAKE SURE IGIVE THIS COMPANY A BAD NAME. I PAID A 2700.00 BILL OFF IN OCT 19 AND BCUZ I HAVEN'T USE SINE IN APR 20 THEY DROPPED MY LIMIT TO 250.00. IF I HAD CREDIT ALREADY WHY GO CHECK MY CREDIT AGAIN WHEN YOU KNOW THE WORLD IN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC. SO OF COURSE MY CREDIT LIMIT ON CARDS WILL BE HIGH. THANKS FOR NOTHING I WILL MAKE SURE MY 8 FAMILY MEMBERS CLOSE THEIR ACCOUTS AND EVERYONE I KNOW NEVER USE YOU AGAIN

Awful interface, on weblog on, on top of that billed me many times erroneously for the same service and debited my bank account twice on auto-pay a few months. Sams Club, Amazon, etc all use this under par bank for credit services. Use a reputable Bank or card service. This is a nightmare of a bank. Cant save passwords as the header is the same for all accounts and different service provided. Its IT services are done by amateurs. Cant provide a statement to see properly on their credit card sites.

For some reason they blocked my account due to fraudant activity, I guess. They wanted me to go through a verification process....take a pic of myself on phone, photo of credit card front and back...video of me rolling my eyes for 5 seconds,and then send a pic of my driver's license. They wouldn't verify me by my security answers or my landline. Now I have to wait 2 weeks for a letter with ANOTHER verification code even though the two they gave me on my phone wasn't good enough. I am NOT comfortable doing all of this and will most likely cancel it.

Totally disappointed. They give 12 months 0% interest and I almost paid off everything. So I end it up own then only $1400 and after the 12 months 0% expires I was expecting that they will charge me interest for the amount I own actually. But that was Absolutely not. They charge me interest from the total amount I lend. I was totally disappointed and I’m going to take legal action about this. If someone has same situation please feel free to join me.

This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with thru QVC. I called and ask what my interest rate was and was told I did not have a percentage rate that it was a daily rate. Then I was told everyone who has a Q card has a 26% rate. I called to get my balance and complained about the rate and was speaking to a supervisor and after giving me my balance he told me he was with Walmart not QVC he pretended to transfer me and of course I was hung up on. I will never shop with QVC again if this is how they choose to do business.

After they bought CitiHealth, they failed to actually test the system to ensure that you can get registered. No matter what you enter, they find your Citi account, but you can't register. The page refreshes over & over without any errors or registration. My payment is now late because they shut down payments on the Citi site before the actual buyout too.

This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. They try to use only automation. Pulling my own teeth would be easier than getting answers from this company. DO NOT USE them unless you have the time to spend 8 hours on the phone. Their website continues to tell me I do not know my login, then it tells me I do not know my password. Every month I call customer service, use the same login, same password and they finally give me the balance of the account. It is scarey to have this bank working with my finances.

I never complain, but today I have had enough. Since Synchrony Bank has taken over my Old Navy, JcPenny and Walmart credit cards (they use to be with GECapital), they have lowered my credit limit on all of them, not because I'm late, not because I'm over my limit, and NOW just here in the last 2 weeks they lowered my Old Navy account AGAIN....I know, you're asking Why? If I could answer that question, I would, but I can't, because I have no idea. They don't return calls. I rate them the worse company to deal with and now I will make a strategic plan to pay them off and cut them up!

Synchrony Bank handles charges for QVC. I have done business with QVC for years and pay my charges IN FULL each month. However, in August I was exceptionally busy and the bill was misplaced on my desk. I received a very harsh notice from Synchrony Bank and a further email referencing "debt collection." I have contacted QVC and substituted my own credit card so as not to have to deal with Synchrony in the future. They do not differentiate between those who pay regularly and those who are regularly/frequently deliquent. Miss one payment and you are treated like a common criminal.

They took a large payment from me, then told me it would not reflect in my available credit for nearly 2 weeks. Talked to customer service but they couldn't do anything to rectify this. Completely useless, and ended up ending our chat session abruptly after I told them I'd be closing my account. Awful.

Bank ran credit when they were unable to verify identification. Credit took a hit AND they rejected the application because they were unable to verify identity. I am currently discussing the situation with them and looking for others that have had this happen. I am looking to possibly file a class action lawsuit.

Even though I paid a huge chunk over and above the monthly payment (say for the next 12 months) they still charge me a late fee claiming that I need to pay them every month and that my lump sum payments only amounted to reduction of principal.

After making a payment, my account was placed on hold for 12 days. The reason? Because I paid before my due date!!! Really!!! My payment is due on the 7th of each month and I paid on the 23rd and for that I’m penalized. This bank has some crazy rules. They get mad because you pay early. What a JOKE!!!

I applied for a credit card to buy roof materials from Lowes. They gave me $4000 without any verification but refused to increase to $8000. Chase gave me $20K and 65000 miles that is free 5 one way tickets on United. Synchrony may reconsider the efficiency of their credit verification division. It is poor.
