Good Credit Cards for Bad Credit after discharge

[Anonymous]

What are some good credit cards to apply for after receiving a chapter 7 discharge? I applied and was approved by cap 1 for $300 unsecured. Thanks in advance for the help. Also my scores are all low 500s (FICO).

You could try for Merrick although I think they might be invite only.

Maybe a store card? Or a secured card that will unsecure after a year of good use (Wells Fargo, BOA, US Bank).

I would avoid first premier/credit one type cards unless that's all you can qualify for...

You only need 2-3 cards to rebuild. Use them well and your scores will steadily rise.

You don't say how long since your BK was discharged but 1 year + seems to be where things start to open up quite a bit.
