Recommended Application Time
- We recommend you apply for this card after you have a credit history of at least two years and you are very comfortable with the credit card game.
Summary
When the sign-up bonus is high, it is worth applying. Remember that you can also get Asia Miles by transferring from Citi TYP and AmEx MR, so this offer is just another way to stack Asia Miles. Synchrony is not a big player in the miles game, we should probably wait for more data points before applying.
Historical Offers Chart
Note: there is a 35k + 25k offer, but the spending requirement for the 25k part is too much, so I don’t count that as sign-up bonus.
