So, for anyone who has wondered, I have found the truth. They have a very long memory. Oh well, I think that's one I can cross off my list for about a hundred years. I also had a primary go bad while I was the AU in 2008. I feel like a broken toy with missing parts.
I just notice that you file for BK 22 years ago and your signature also says BK discharge 5/11 meaning 2011?
Im willing to bet thats the OP's second BK.

Correct....and not something I am proud of. The first one was caused by enormous medical bills and a disability for a few years. Life happens.
It probably won't take 100 years. I got back in with them after 33 years.

Could not agree more!!! I used to have a Gold and Plat card that I always kept in good standing with big spend. I closed the accts after they continued to lower my CL. In my opinion their charge cards are way overblown. I still feel that the Delta card is a decent product but only if Delta is your airline of choice!

See OP, there's hope! Or, like pizza1 mentioned upthread, maybe try in 2017? Now, given you gave them a double whammy with 2 BKs, it's doubtful they'll let you back in at all. I would go with other lenders OP, plus gdale6 brings up a good point in terms of what they were once regarded as.
