WF Approved after BK7 and Bread Rewards!

In 2021, during my Chapter 7 bankruptcy, I burned Wells Fargo (WF) for about $2,700. I had previously tried applying for a credit card with them but was declined. Recently, I noticed they launched a new credit card with perks I was interested in, so I decided to try their pre-approval tool. After a few weeks of consideration, I went for it and was approved! I'm excited to be back with Wells Fargo and look forward to this second chance. I received a decent starting credit line, and while the rate isn't great, I pay my balances in full monthly, so no worries. I also applied for my second Bread card, as I already have their 2% card option. WF pulled from Experian only, and while Bread Financial hasn't pulled anything yet, I expect the hard inquiry will show up within the next few days.

Congratulations on starting your new relationship with Wells Fargo again @Waldemar 

 And for the Key card approval.

Nice limit from them. And congrats on your Bread approval.

 

 I've been with Wells as my secondary bank awhile and I believe they informed me my Hotels.com  card was going to turn into a Key Card at some point. Will have to look into that more but enjoy your new card,

Cheers

Re: WF Approved after BK7 and Bread Rewards!

Congratulations @Waldemar on your approvals, and especially on getting back in with Wells with a rock-solid approval after they were included in your BK. That's quite an accomplishment!

 

You mentioned doing their pre-approval page. Did they give you a pre-approval? I've never had success with that page, although they've given me 3 cards - so the bank seems to like me more than the pre-approval tool does.

Through the WF page, I didn't get any results either. However, I checked for their new "One Key Card" via the Expedia website, where I did get pre-approved then I went for it. https://www.expedia.com/one-key-cards
