I was shopping at Sam's one day, paying for my purchase and the cashier said i was approved for a Sam's Club credit card and if i accepted i would receive $25 off on my purchase! I accepted started out with $300 limit and they have now changed my limit to $1100 great for re-building and it's accepted at wal-mart also! Online access, i really like it!
I applied for this card in December to use for purchaes for my business. This card has been a NIGHTMARE!!!! payments don't get credited correctly, the user portal is the WORST I have ever seen, payments made in the store dont get credited correctly and customer service is horrendous!!! I am posting this under the Consumer complaints as when I call the business side they tell me it is a personal card. The funny thing is that when I call the consumer side they tell me it is a business card. Another BIG negative is they refuse to sync with any accounting software so every transaction has to be entered by hand. Oh, I almost forgot they assign you some cryptic user ID (you can't pick something you can remember) and the site is constantly locking us out on the password even though it is entered correctly. We are currently fighting over a late payment that was made in the store and not credited to the account. The card is mismanaged by Synchrony Bank so beware of any of their cards.

Was Trying To Set Up My Pin For An Hour
Just got my card activated and called cs to set up a pin. I've been transfered over 6-7 customer service representatives and still didn't set up a PIN. Only after wasting an hour and a conversation with a manager I finally set up my PIN. I already disapointed and will recommend to nobody to use this credit card.
Ripoff
Interest rate 23.65% says it all. Of $44.00 payment, $30.00 is interest.
Worst customer service
Synchrony bank continues to have horrible customer service. I paid the card off in full and went to use card and it kept declining the transaction. After 4 calls to Synchrony , I asked to just close account and for them to Mail a letter stating it was closed and to show it was reported to the credit agencies. I never received the letter!!
They change balance without notices
We kept a nice credit history, never late always using and paying, sometimes minimum payment sometimes $400 payments but never delinquent. Our available balance was $500 and after making a payment they reduced the card to $170. It hurt my credit -20 points when I was having for the past 6 months a monthly positive increase on my credit score
DO NOT GET THIS CARD!!!!!
Customer service is a nightmare! Good luck if your card is stolen.
High Interest Rates
I have a 760 credit score and the entire time I have had this card they have put my APR at 24% which is down right outragious! I am doing a balance tranfere and applied for a CITI card and after the 21mos 0APR it'll be 16%
Extremely poor customer service
While the card itself is fine, as I only use it for charging my fuel to obtain the cash back rewards at the end of every year, the customer service for issues regarding the card is worse than a one-star rating. I had an issue with a statement so I called the customer service number and proceeded to have to deal with an automated service for nearly 9 minutes before I even had an option of speaking with a real person! All I needed to do was double check a refund and make a payment over the phone. What an ordeal! Not impressed.
NEVER APPLY THIS CARD
If I could give less than 1 star I will!!! Worest card I have ever had. I was lost my wallet last December 2016, so the credit card was stolen by someone. And the person used my credit card for over $4,000. So I have called the customer service and reported a fraud immediately. They have closed my account and resend me another credit card for furture use. They said they will have to investigate the fraud. After three month, they told me the investigation was closed and they would not give me back the fund. Because they said I made a payment to my account during the three month. How come I do not make a payment to my credit card for 3 month??? If I do not make a payment, they will charge me the interest. This is ridiculous. The person has swiped my credit card for over $4,000. And they just gonna do nothing with it. And let me pay back the money! So is this mean, anyone could uses your sams club credit card, and anyone could stolen your card. It is not safe at all! I will strongly recommedate that NEVER apply this card. It pain in the ***. I will definitly sue them.
Read-um and weep
I have not used it 5 times without it being declined for possible fraud. It will not download into Quicken. Your statements are not available online.
Website is horrible
I can only download into Qucken after the monthly statement and then no pending transactions. I went to the website today to learn more about charges I didn't recognize and when I clicked up specific charges it showed me a location that was totally different than what the charge was for. I called and the person I spoke to was no help. She couldn't comment on the web site other than to say she would pass it on to IT. I asked that someone call me when it is fixed. We don't do that she replied.
