They IIB back in 2017 for a small amount. I guess i can wait 12 months
Well there you go!
Heads-up: There are going to be a lot of declines from CCCs with a BK on your CRs. And those who do allow you in, will give you a toy limit and then when/if they do, will rarely give a CLI. And it doesn't matter whether the amount IIB was $200 or $200K, it was still an amount that Disco lost. And 2 yrs out of BK is not nearly enough time for forgiveness. So, I suggest not wasting HPs on what will 99% of the time be “no soup for you.” So you see, Discover prequal is not a joke.
Honestly, your FICOS have been moving up nicely. Not sure where they are presently but I would guess even higher than your last update in your sig. Don't know what cards you've acquired so far but there are lenders that will entertain you a little for now. Some are known to be tough on BKs and are well known... Chase, BofA, PenFed, USAA... not the complete list but a little poking around will let you know what waters to swim in for the next couple years and be successful with approvals. With the right strategy you can log some serious CLs within 2 years which in real life (not CC Ninja life) , is a short amount of time By the time those HPs fall off its a whole new world for you. In the meantime, stick to the friendly sandboxes and stay under the radar. Your time is coming

I applied for Discover prequalification and it came back with preapprovals for Discover It and Chrome with 19.99% APR and 0% for 14 months. At first i could not believe my eyes. I took the bait and applied for discover IT with 2% cash back and wolla.Yep, I almost did the same thing. Luckily I searched the forums here to find I would not be accepted for the fact that I haven't been with them 1 year. I wish those pre-quals would not give false hope when you are already in their system. So nope, nothing is ever set in stone. Unfortunately, you have been denied. Please wait 7-10 business days for a letter in the mail. This is very disappointing as i pulled the plug after the preapproval. What are my chances if i recon? I've read hear that discover preapprovals are solid but i guess not. Any advise? All you can do is wait on the letter....so sorry for your outcome. Don't give up; maybe it's something easily fixed and then you can apply again. GL!

"EQ 33 INQ l TU 29 INQ l EX 48 INQ l " That is pretty excessive! IMO ...you definitely need to Garden!

Hopefully that's all it is....the inquiries . Which only takes patience and time, hit the Garden for sure.
OP, when are those inquiries scheduled to fall off?

@Kasuito39, one DP that would help you and the community as a whole is perhaps include the BK information in your signature. This saves the guess work with identifying the potential reasons as to why the application was not approved or the feasibility of future applications. Since your signature already includes your scores, inquiries, etc., it is just as important of an element for consideration.

OP - just curious, what are all those inquiries from? Many people wouldn’t amass 100+ inquiries in a lifetime.
