Our Verdict
The standard offer on this card is 40,000 points, to this is an extra 20,000 points. Think it could be worth it for the sign up bonus, but keeping the card long term doesn’t make a lot of sense. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

Seems like not useful if you're in Chicago? I tested some domestic search, getting no flights available.
Phony booking on virgin red generated 60k+$100 offer for me.
Why anyone would ever get a synchrony mastercard is beyond me. They only have a history of being terrible at them.
Approved for $8500, I'm 24/5 🤷🏻♂️
P2 was also 'pre-approved' but upon clicking thru, it went to pending.
Stupid question but I’ve never had a synchrony card before. Do they have any annoyances? For example auto pay works fine?
These aren’t transferable right, you need to only spend the points at virgin?
These comments are locking up - the checkbox is not showing and in some cases an error is returned: must check the box, but it is not there.
Try clearing cache and see if that fixes it.
Can you redeem the points for cash or gift cards?
LOL/24 and approved. Plan is to open a bank account with it and hope that I am not dinged with a cash advance.
