Card Recommendations- 2 yrs 3 mo post BK...700+ score

I have no CCs or loans & would love to get some credit card reccomendations for "officially" rebuilding (filed Ch. 7 2+ years).

 

TransUnion and Experian, just above 700, so (best guess) FICO high 600s.

 

No balances other than student loans which are in good standing. 

Burned:

NFCU CC

Wells Fargo (Auto loan)

Capital One CC (2 cards)

WalMart Mastercard CC

 

*Edit to better clarify situation

For starters...who did you burn in your BK? Which lenders?

Do you currently have any CC's at all?

You can probably get back in with capital one. It's been a long stretch!

Agreed, should I wait til after establishing my credit with Discover? I applied yesterday and not sure if it's too soon to go for card #2.

 

*Discover is the only application I've done post BK
