Issuer Rules

Rules: Application Eligibility: Must be 18 years or older, a U.S. resident with a valid Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). Approval is subject to Synchrony's credit underwriting standards, typically requiring fair to good credit. Bonus Rule: New cardholders often receive an immediate discount (e.g., 20% off) on their first Belk purchase made with the card. Ongoing rewards include earning Belk Rewards points on all Belk purchases, which convert to Belk Rewards Dollars. Higher spending tiers (Belk Premier, Belk Elite) offer enhanced point earning rates and additional benefits.

Maximum Cards Per Issuer: 5

Minimum Spend Interval: Not applicable for traditional sign-up bonus; initial discounts are typically immediate on first purchase.

Shutdown Risk Triggers: High cumulative credit limit across multiple Synchrony accounts, late payments or defaults on any Synchrony account, rapid application for multiple Synchrony cards in a short period, suspicious or fraudulent activity, abuse of promotional financing offers, and prolonged inactivity on some Synchrony cards while heavily utilizing others.
