Issuer Rules & Restrictions

Maximum Cards per Issuer

You can hold up to 7 cards from this issuer simultaneously.

Shutdown Risk Triggers

High credit utilization across multiple Synchrony accounts, missed payments, abuse of promotional financing terms (e.g., not paying off deferred interest balances), bankruptcy, significant derogatory changes to credit report, or excessive credit limit requests relative to reported income.

Cliff Effect Rules

Synchrony does not enforce a strict 'card family' cliff effect like some other issuers. However, approvals for new Synchrony cards and credit limit increases are significantly influenced by the total cumulative credit extended by Synchrony to the individual. High existing credit exposure with Synchrony may lead to denials for new applications or credit limit reductions on existing accounts.

International Friendly

May have limitations for international use.

Additional Issuer Rules

As of 2026, the MyLowe's Rewards Credit Card (Lowe's Advantage Card) issued by Synchrony Bank maintains its core application and bonus structure. Eligibility requires applicants to be at least 18 years old, a U.S. resident with a valid Social Security Number. Approval is subject to creditworthiness, typically favoring applicants with good to excellent credit, though Synchrony is known to approve some with fair credit for store cards. New cardholders commonly receive a one-time discount (e.g., 20% off up to $100) on their first qualifying purchase. Applications are primarily online or in-store, often providing an instant credit decision after a hard inquiry on the applicant's credit report (commonly TransUnion or Equifax). The card offers ongoing benefits of either 5% off eligible purchases or special financing options.
