Not the best option, last resort 😕 if you want you credit to look bad try synchrony, I had a credit n paid off later to realize they took me to collection because of $13, which they claimed when I called was supposed to maintain the account. First I didn't borrow from them, the merchant did which account am supposed to maintain with them....!!!

Horrible to deal with - no customer service- no support - when you have a problem you cannot talk to anyone about that problem they can only put in a dispute… And then you get a letter with no conversation no calls no anything… Good luck dealing with this company

I applied for a deferred interest financial account via one of the furniture stores in Florida. They refused my application because I paid my previous account with them in time and did'nt give them any opportunity to milk me for interest ................ Avoid . Customer service lady was very short and abrupt.

Fraud! Do not do any financing through MySynchrony. Paying on a card for years, more than the minimum balance monthly, yet my current balance is still higher than my initial purchase 3 years ago and they are charging interest on top of interest.

Worst customer service ever. Never received an item and opened a dispute. It took them a year to figure things out and by then they said it has been over 120 days and they cannot issue refund, even though I initiated the dispute within 14 days of initial purchase.

Lowered my credit limit drastically after I paid off the balance from $1000 to 250. Of course the didn't offer to put it back. I closed the account. Now you lost a customer. Just make sure that 0 bal shows up on my credit report first.

If I could give them -10 stars I would. I don’t know why it takes ten days to post a payment. I think they want it to bounce back so they charge you more. It’s a shame that some really good stores choose to deal with them.

Takes 4-7 days to get your money transferred to your external accounts, other online banks do it in 1-2 days. Customer service personnel on the phone are okay, I'm pretty sure they are in a different county though.

After canceling a couple of extra payments, I still paid off most of my Pay Pal Credit account with Synchrony Bank. However, the bank some weeks later has suddenly increased my credit limit and closed my account IN THE SAME DAY, without notifying me.

Do not use this banks credit card . I paid my credit card payment online and somehow they took my payment out twice. It was a pretty large amount and now they are giving me a run around to get my second payment back . They clearly took it out twice and now they want a bank statement to show what I paid it twice even though they got paid twice.

This is by far the worst bank to deal with. Lowered my limit by 75% stating I do not use thier services enough. So now my debt to income ratio is out of wack. They also stated I am no longer a good risk because I no longer have an active mortgage. Shame on all of us who pay bills on time, do not abuse credit cards, and respect credit period.

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.

Credit line started at $800. Made all payments on time to them and all creditors. Made a payment for $200 and then they reduce the credit line to $510. Balance is now $226. Made a payment for $70. They reduced credit line to $250. Customer service is useless. The card is not worth the space in my wallet.

They report to your bureaus before the statement comes out. So, if you plan on paying the full balance before the statement, whatever you charged will still be reported to the bureaus. I don't like that and will not use thieir credit card unless it's an emergency.

Wouldn’t give them a 1 stair. Don’t ever use them. Twice now unfortunately I got financed through them. Both times half way through the loan they lower your credit limit under what you still owe and put you over limit and it hurts your credit score. Avoid at all costs. I will be calling the better business bureau.

I pay my bill every month on time. But for the last four months. I pay and two days later I get a message the bill is past due. I call the bank they say the bill was not paid. You give them the ref number the app gives. They say that the ref number does not match record. Which is b.s. synchrony bank is another B.s. bank do illegal crap. Stay away.

I have NEVER missed a credit card payment, and they lowered the limit on three of my credit cards. Therefore affecting my credit score with lower spending limits. They claimed it was due to higher balances on my cards. Excuse the us all for Covid messing with our financial situations. Would never recommend them to anyone.

Worst experience I have ever dealt with. They don't honor payment arrangements. They don't alert you when a dispute is up and your payments resume. They don't take notes of your calls and can't warm transfer so you get ping ponged around with zero help.

Lowered credit line for no apparent reason. This was done less than two months after opening the account and for no justifiable reason.

Their credit card account stinks. Had 4 different cards with different companies with synchrony bank and always paid on time or ahead of time and not once late. They cancels 2 cards and reduced a third card to 250.00 credit. This company is the pits! Don't bother with them as they will make your credit score drop when they cancel their cards.

Beware! They will gradually decrease credit limits and then out of nowhere close accounts. My score suffered over 100 point ding. I’ve NEVER made a late payment. I’ve always doubled up on payments and out of nowhere, 3/4 lines were decreased and 1 closed.

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.
