which citi product should I apply with 5 years old BK ?

subject line says it all.. I think I have decided to go 1 more before going to the garden for a long time.  scores info in my siggy.

 

how about just a plain Citi Platinum mastercard ? also I have never burned Citi when I filed it... so suggestions? any chance 5 years old BK  is boardline too fresh for Citi to consider it.

Re: which citi product should I apply with 5 years old BK ?

I just logged in Credit Karma it shows approval odds are "good" for Citi Simplicity  it does show certain cards "poor" for approval odds like chase.. I bet I will end up getting only $500 CL from Citi just a feeling , I think will most likely pull the trigger tonight..

I don't know about Citi, since they're all over the place with their approvals. I would try Barclay's. Many have reported approvals with decent starting CLs with past bankrupcty.

Capital One 2006--$5,000 ||| AMEX Macy's 2008--$2,300 ||| Kohl's 2009-- $1,000 ||| JCP 2010-- $1,000 ||| Walmart Discover 2010-- $5,000 ||| Sears 2011 -- $3,600 ||| Sears 2011 -- $3,500 ||| Chase Freedom 2012--$7,500 ||| Discover IT 2013 -- $4,000
||| Chase Sapphire Preferred 2013 -- $10,000

SCORES: EQ FICO: 787, EX FAKO: 801, TU FICO: 790 (Lender Pull)

I already got 2 Barclays cards which is the maxed numbers of accounts they would give me juniper 4.6K and Apple Visa 3.2K CL. Do you think I should apply straight on citi site or use the link from CK site ? Citi usually pulls TU right ? Lets say if citi does approve me but only for $500 CL should i keep it or tell them forget it and try it again later on for larger CL?

Depends where you are.  My last 3 pulls from Citi (in MA) have been double pulls of EX and EQ (not TU at all).

Well, it  wasn't instant approval or flat out denied.. So maybe this is a good sign.. if Citi does approve me then I should really do gardening huh? because I think I am starting to push it with past 6 months of accounts being opened. Wal Mart, Discover, GECRB LensCrafters and Barclays Apple Visa are the ones opened in the past 6 months so Citi would be 5th account.
