Synchrony Financial Credit Card Complaint

Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Synchrony Financial Credit card department,

Unsolicited issuance of credit card Oregon

I went to buy pants at the store and the clerk suggested if I sign up for a member card, I get a discount right away. At no point was I notified this was a credit card and all terms used to refer to this card made it sound like a free membership card. At the end when I found out that it was in fact a credit card, the clerk claimed it was too late and ca n't back out. He also said " it wo n't hurt your credit at all '', which is a flat out lie. On top of that, the discount was not applied at all to the purchase, in spite of signing up for the card. As the clerk was packaging up the pants and the card, his manager happened to be passing by and gave him a " congratulations on the Gap card ''. The way it was said was similar to a " congratulations selling the lemon car ''. Seemed like this was a shady type of car dealership the way I was handled, rather than a respectable clothing store I assumed it was.
