Issuer Rules

Rules: Eligibility for the Abt Credit Card (Synchrony) in 2026 requires applicants to be 18 years or older, possess a valid U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), have a verifiable U.S. physical address, and meet Synchrony's creditworthiness criteria (typically fair to good credit is sufficient for store cards). The card primarily offers special financing promotions, such as 0% APR for a specified period (e.g., 6, 12, 18, or 24 months) on qualifying purchases above a certain minimum amount (e.g., $299, $499, $999). These offers are usually applied at the point of sale and require timely minimum payments to avoid deferred interest. No traditional sign-up bonus (points/cashback) is typically associated with this card.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: N/A - Promotional financing applies at purchase, not tied to a traditional spend bonus interval.

Shutdown Risk Triggers: Manufactured spending (less common for store cards), high cumulative credit limit across Synchrony accounts, sudden drastic changes in spending patterns, defaulting on promotional financing terms, excessive credit seeking (especially multiple Synchrony cards in a short period), suspicious account activity, and failure to make timely payments.
