19 Creditors Burned... Who's left?

So Covid hit my household pretty hard. Our business was basically shut down for over a year and I used credit to try and keep it alive. Plus I was hit pretty hard with medical bills. I lost my home and cars. So I had to declare bankruptcy but my fiance didn't. We are working on Balance transferring her $60k in debt and pay it off. I discharge tomorrow. I haven't paid for FICO, but my Experian is 618, Vantage Score TU is 706 and EQ is 685. I applied for Cap 1 and immediately got a $1,000 limit, even tho I burned them for $20k. I was going to open a builder loan for $5000 for 24 months. But I want 2 more credit cards. Then PIF every month and garden for 2 years. Would like to open up another business in a couple years. The cards I burned are below, any recommendations on who else to use? I figure only Credit Unions are left. Thank you! 

 

Edit:I don't believe I burned Chase, but I don't think they are bankruptcy friendly.

Re: 19 Creditors Burned... Who's left?

I can't speak about many of the cards, but Amex will probably not take you back unless you pay them back.  Barclays can be crossed off the list indefinitely in getting back with them.  I have personally burned Discover over 10 years ago in a CO, but am currently getting preapprovals every time I try their site, but never applied.  I also burned Chase same time with Discover, but I see you didn't burn them.  I currently have 3 Chase cards.  You may have to garden longer than 2 years to age off the BK to even try to get back in the door with some of these lenders.  Once your BK ages, I would recommend trying to go for Chase as you haven't burned them.  Penfed is also an option.
