When (post BK), did you get Discover card?

I'm curious to know....

Post any BK, when were you approved for a Discover card??? If you were approved for Discover More, It, etc.... It would help the rest of us out in determining future apps with themSmiley Happy if you were approved please tell us the following:

1) how far out post filing/ post DC
2) your scores at the time of app
3) were you approved instantly, or did you recon
4) initial credit limit
5) anything else useful like... How many post cc's did you have before app, were you an AU etc....

Thanks for looking here, and posting if you have one. I'd put this thread in regular credit card section, but this is different and credit is treated differently with people who have a bankruptcy! Smiley Happy

My Ch 13 is still on my EQ and I was approved this Jan. Did not app before, no recon CS was 707, initial CL $2500 now its $7300. My bk was from 2005 and I had since reestablished and kept cc's prior to filing.

09Lexie.... Oh wow! Very nice! congrats on that!! Sometimes I think ch13 and ch7 are looked at a little differently, I don't know. I know Soulmaster got one within 2 yrs of bk7. This is a goal card of mine!!! I'd live to have one within 4 yrs! Thanks for replying and nice CL you have too!Smiley Wink

@Scupra

Yes, it's not impossible at all. Just give your CR's a little time.

Exactly! I am waiting until 2-3 years post d/c to even try! I dont want to be denied and want to be in the best position to be approved when I do app.
