Approved for Discover it Cash Back Card 4 month's after chapter 13 discharge !

Was leary after 4 denials to pre-qualify for discover 4 months after chap 13 discharge. Finally I was approved for a 6k credit limit (wooohoo).  I will admit that before hand I applied and was approved for the following cards.

* Ally bank Everyday Mastercard: $2.5k

* Cap 1 Savor One: $4k

* Target Red Card: $900 (just received haven't activated)

* Discover It Cash Back: $ 6k (5am pre-qual tool)

SN: I have yet to be able to get a pre-approval for a unsecured NFCU card only the secured was offered. (Have Chk and Sav)

Now I just need to sit back and keep utilization low or carry no balance and monitor.

It's widely acknowledged here, and elsewhere that NFCU  pre-approvals are very unreliable. That's a nice approval from Discover considering the BK. Congratulations.

Congratulations, I'm going through the same. My file date was 11/30/18 and dischage wasn't finalized till 3/23/24. Since the discharge I've been able to get the following but I'll wait a few months before applying for anything else. 

  • Capital One Quicksilver $1K 
  • US Bank Cash+ $500
  • TD Bank Secured Card (going in tomorrow not sure how much I'll put down)
  • Ally Everyday Cashback $2.3K
  • During my Ch 13 I was able to get the same $900 for Target Circle Card.

Had opensky and credit one cards which I've closed just this week. 

 

Good luck!
