The Supersonic Card and Financing through Synchrony
Y’ever booked a hotel or a car rental with a credit card? Know how they don’t charge you until your stay, but they put a “hold” on your card for the room charge or drive time, effectively reducing your available credit? That’s one reason to get a Supersonic Music Store Card—keep your credit card available credit ready to use however you need, and still have time to pay for that new cymbal or amp.
In a few easy steps, you can apply for a Store Card, administered by Synchrony Financial, which is valid for use at either of our Topeka or Lawrence store locations. Let’s go through some steps and details: |
Application
- To be able to apply, applicants must meet/complete these requirements: 1) Be an adult U.S. citizen, 2) fill out a short form*, 3) have some pre-established credit, 4) provide two forms of ID, preferably a driver's license and a valid credit/debit card.
- We submit this info over an encrypted line to Synchrony Financial who replies right away. Usually, submission and reply take 3-4 minutes. Occasionally we need to add a few minutes to clarify something by phone.
- Congratulations! When you’re approved, you get a unique account number which is available for use right away. You’ll receive a plastic card by mail, usually in about two weeks, which looks like a credit card. If you’re declined, you’ll get a notification of why as well the ability to get your credit history report; if there are errors on your credit report, you can protest which might improve your world!
