well i pulled the trigger and guess what!! i was approved with a SL of $6000 can you believe that! i almost fell of my chair, thanks everyone.
my mom filed for a chapter 7 late 2011, fully paid in 2012, she got a discover preapproval in the mail this year and approved for 5k. she never had a discover card before the BK so im not sure if that plays a role. her FIco scores were 691 and 695. never had a baddie or late ater that BK. I checked her report for her a few weeks back and the BK shows as paid on her judgement section of her report. shes at 702 now. definately possible to get with discover after bk .
EDIT, opps didnt see your reply. Congrats. nice SL.
Congrats!!!! Wow! Now I know set APR is the way to go 😄
Thanks everyone hope my data points helps someone else. Does anybody know when i can request a cli?
every two months from what we've done with discover.
With DISCOVER it's definitey a YMMV....we were DC'd in August/2015 and I had a DISCOVER IT card then and did NOT include them in BK. In January, I was messing around online and went to their pre-approval page and to my surprise got a preapproval offer. I know it's not very reliable, but I figured we had a previous relationship with them and maybe they wanted us back. My previous CL was only $1K (never could get a CLI but didn't use the card much anyway). So anyway, I hit apply and got approved for $800. I've had 2 CLI's since then and it's currently up to $1800. We use it mainly for the 5% categories. I think at the time my FICO was 650 or so. Coming up on 6 months now so about time to hit the luv button again (have been couple of times a week ). I'm hoping to get a pretty good increase as we always PIF and make several payments a month.
Again YMMV and who knows how their UW works.....hope this helps

Here is my experience with Discover. I had BK chapter 7 discharged 6/29/2016 and on July 6th 2016 I applied and was instant approved for a Discover It Card SL $1250 and I never had a Discover Card. I tried 2 times before the discharge and was declined due to bankruptcy reporting.
