Will the BK still be on past June?  I thought those were 10 years?  If not, you should be able to get pretty much any good prime card I would imagine.  Chase Freedom or Sapphire, Amex Charge (maybe not revolver, but you might qualify), Discover More, etc.  What are you looking for?  What kind of rewards would you be interested in?

I would think with your profile you should be able to get a card.  I am not familiar with this, but hopefully others will report which companies tend to be BK friendly.  I know some cards take a hardline on any BK, but there are some out there that will approve with old BKs.  Good luck!

Don't know that you'd have to wait three years.

Just snoop around the internet for Chase Freedom and BK experiences. You might not get the best CL, but it beats waiting 3 years.

OP, have you read through this:

 

BK Friendly Credit Cars Listed

 

It's definitely an older thread, and it doesn't get updated enough IMO, but it might be worth a look.

* Credit is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master. * Who's the boss --you or your credit?

Makes sense. Just checking. :smileyhappy:

 

If anyone else reading this thread has recent (as in within the last 6-12 months) experience with CC companies who are BK-friendly, please consider updating the BK thread I linked above, as well as this one, of course.
