Its been a year since my wife filed bk ch 7, she applied for barclays and after reconsideration she was approved for 1200.00 heres my question we were going to buy a mac but changed our minds.

It's a Visa... Use it anywhere, but yes you will not get the 12 month 0% interest using it somewhere else.
But since you did mention Tigerdirect, might be worth applying for the credit they offer, it will cost a HP but it does not report to credit as long as not delinquent last I knew through Web Bank or get the Bill Me Later Account (same bank) but can use SO MANY PLACES and they almost always offer 6 months interest free and such.
Can't change Apple Card also but Barclay will work with you to grow as she does if you end up liking the card at all...

You can use the card anywhere, it doesn't have to be just Apple. Like someone else has said, you just won't get the 0% interest- which can save you a significant amount of money, depending on how much of a balance you carry.
I've had my Apple card for about 6 months (I also filed BK almost five years ago). It has been pretty good to me. I'm still slowly paying off my balance from my iPad purchases and I'm enjoying the 0% interest. They sent me my first set of promotional checks this weekend. I believe it was 3% interest rate on balance tranfers until November 2013. They also gave me an auto-CLI at the 6 month mark.
I am a fan of Barclay. Just make sure you don't have a lot of inquiries or open too many accounts for 6 months after opening an account with them. They get their ego's bruised easy
