Airline Card After Bankruptcy

Filed for bankruptcy 3 years ago and have had excellent credit history since then. Never late on payments and pay them off every month. Capital One  upgraded me to a Venture Card but am wanting to get a Southwest Airlines card or US Airways card to build miles up. My FICO is 679. What are my chances?

No idea.  Odds used to be 0 with Chase if one had a BK reporting but recently some have reported being approved with a relatively recent BK.

I would take a look at the Barclays Arrival or the Barclays US Airways card. Barclays is BK friendly if you have some good payment history after the BK. I think both cards have some good sign up bonuses as well.

Re: Airline Card After Bankruptcy

Currently have Capital One Venture, Barclaycard Rewards and Mastercard Platinum. 679 is my FICO score. Is FICO the main one the company's use? The US Airways card is the one I really want.

Re: Airline Card After Bankruptcy

I have 2 capital one and one barclaycard. Does barclaycard ever upgrade to a miles card?

I don't think they transfer into or out of partner cards... a few have been lucky to be able to I think but for the most part most have been told no.

Re: Airline Card After Bankruptcy

Yeah I figured they wouldn't do that. I'm gonna get a few things fixed in my credit report before I apply. It is showing late payments and I haven't had any.
