Are Synchrony VISA/MCs BK friendly?

I am 3 years post BK. I have some synchrony backed store cards but I am not sure if they are BK friendly on major cards I've heard a few people say it was flat out decline for BK.

I'm 3 yrs. post BK as well. All my Synch cards are up to $4-6k but I have not been approved for a Synch Visa/MC. I don't really want one anymore.

I hardly ever see anyone with a Sync VISA/MC who has a BK on file.

No synchrony is not bk friendly when it comes to their VISA/MC products.  Although I have not gotten approved for anything sync after my bk.  In burned them for 300 on a JC Penney card.  I am blacklisted from them.

Thank you for the wealth of knowledge I have learned from these forums. I am logging off as of November 9, 2022. I wish everyone great success.

I have Ebates visa, PayPal MC, and Sam's MC. But they didn't give me any love until I was 6 years post-BK on store cards, and 9+ years post-BK on the visa/MC products. Bear in mind that I had quite a few baddies up until this year.
