Hi, i was approved last week when i apply Amazon and Walmart (Same Day) 30 minutes interval.Discharged August 10 last year BK7 and include them in my petition,i burn Walmart,Amazon,B Republic,and Paypal.So that's like less than 6 months post DC when they let me back in.I only have 3 inquiries(TU)and 669 Credit Karma score when i apply
I am two years post discharge. I have been able to obtain Walmart, Amazon and some others. They would not touch me before then. Each time it was a denial. It's a YMMV thing. I did burn them for JC Penney for a balance of around 300.
I have been approved for Walmart, Amazon, chevron gas card but got the we will email you or decision for Lowes and Old Navy. With that being said do you usually get approved? Very nervous. We really need a new fridge ours is dying
I'm just shy of 2 1/2 years post discharge. I applied for three credit cards during my first 28 months post discharge. My credit card applications were each spaced out by 6 month intervals. Capital One was obtained a week after discharge, NFCU Cash Rewards was acquired 6 months after discharge, and Barclay Rewards was acquired approximately 1 year post discharge. After closing on my mortgage last month (29 months post discharge) I decided to go on a mini application spree. I applied online and was instantly approved for the Cap One Venture, NFCU Platinum, Neiman Marcus, and Lowes CC's (Synchrony Bank). The Lowes card was approved via my online application with a $1k starting CL. I immediately contacted the customer service representative and was approved for a $12k limit. I did not burn Synchrony nor any of the other banks through which I've applied and been approved for credit. I did have a Lowes card prior to discharge that was closed and paid as agreed. The information on this forum has provided me with a road map for rebuilding. I haven't nor plan to apply for credit without a reasonable idea that I will be approved. I've yet to be declined for credit as a result of being armed with the knowledge provided on this forum.
was approved first time i applied which was about 1 year.
amazon, lowes, wal-mart, paypal = around 10,000 total

I am 72 days post discharge. I have 5 bank credit cards (all unsecured). I applied for Amazon at day 61 - declined & Walmart day 68 - declined...Hope that helps !
Did you get your Venture with low scores, and did you get your QS1 with low scores?
I'm wondering how Capital One determines who gets the credit steps $300 limits, and who gets the nice starting limits.
Got 2 Cap One cards days after discharge - $300 each. 4 months later got a $500 CLI on each. Yes once every bad dropped off my reports in Jan I was approved for Venture and QS.
For me, I was at 5 months post 7 discharge and after some success with Cap 1 and Barclays ( heck , even a pre-approved SCT pop-up from Eddie Bauer) I tried for the Amazon Store card and got the 'gong'. Reason cited in email was "BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDING, CREDIT COUNSELING OR CREDITOR SETTLEMENT" - FYI they Pulled from TU. I pulled the trigger too soon I suspect.
