Im new hwew as well. Try the capital one preapproval.  its all on the boards here. I tried it and was approved for unsecured card with 300 cl. good luck

Thank you, I actually just applied for Cap 1 an hour ago. It says application submitted but no answer yet. How long did it take for you to get approval/answer?

bank of America, and  u.s bank gave me one

because of the bankruptcy still pending, I got an email response saying they were reviewing the info.

I received my credit card Wed Oct 3...

my discharge isnt even discharged yet,,, call the 800 number on these boards and check the status,,,

this website and forums are great,, and make sure you contact chex systems and send them the info that you filed bankruptcy.

This site told me to do that and they are removing my chex systems negative records.

good luck

I was able to get a secured card from PNC Bank. You have to inside the branch and have a checking account with them. I also got one from my credit union.

That's great to know! I did not know that Chex would clear you record because of Bankruptcy.

Thank you everyone for input!

Amalgamated Bank, Chicago is recommended by the author of a book on recovering from BK.  He recommends calling them, not making an online application.
