I don't believe they are. I was researching their secured card on the forum and it looks like they do not like BKs. Read the last post on this thread.

They are not.

They are not BK friendly.  If you want one of BofA's better cards, wait til that BK 7 falls off in 2 years.

DH does have a BofA with a BK reporting, but they CLD him from $4K to $500 when they noticed the BK.  And it won't budge.  (I'm actually surprised they kept it open at all).  We keep it open, but I doubt it will do anything worthwhile until that BK ages off.

In the meantime, there's other cards that will definitely work with BK's.  Some even claim AmEx takes 8 year old BK's (at least for a few folks) - that one's iffy, IMO; but there are several who will work with BK.  What do you currently have open?
