My wife received a pre-qualified offer from Valero/Diamond Shamrock(Gas) in the mail yesterday. We went online and applied and was approved. We filed in January and we have not been discharged yet. I don't know the limit yet it only said that we were approved. So you can add them to the list of BK friendly creditors.
