Is GE BK Friendly?

[BackInTheSaddleAgain]

I mentioned this question in another topic earlier today under 'Lowes Question' recently. Hoping for additional input. I have always been under the impression that GE was BK friendly. I have a $5,000 corporate CL with Amazon (GE) and everytime I buy something and try and check out is say "my account qualifies for special financing. 12 months interest free with the Amazon Store Card." However, when I click on the 'Apply' link, the application states that your credit must be free from bankruptcies. 

I not only have the one year old Amazon Corporate Line through GE, but I also have an 18 month old Walmart card with them. My 2007 BK has never been a problem and I have never seen this with GE. WHAT GIVES? Is this something new?

Need wisdom

My 05 BK was reporting when I got approved last year for the Amazon CC.   Generally, GECRB is open to those at least 2+ years out of BK, but some have got back in with them in less time.

Definitely BK Friendly

I have apped right on thru such admonishments with BK-7 and was approved without a recon.

I was approved for the Amazon store card about 9 mos. from discharge.

I've been declined for every GE card I've applied for...BK is 3.5 years old. 

[juggalo9er]

around 27 months out of chapter 7...wal-mart, lowes, and amazon all approved

I got the 4 GE cards you see in my sig (76, Chevron, Walmart, Care Credit) all within 4 months of my discharge last year.

I also filed Ch 13, not Ch 7.  I did not have any prior accounts with them either.

I can speak for myself that GE is most definitely BK friendly. I am 9 mo post BK 7, and in Feb of this year I was approved for Walmart, JCP, and GAP. ( was 6 mo post BK7 at the time ). I also IIB all those cards too. Then GE approved me for 76 gas card in march, and this month amazon. I have a thick file though. But everyone is different. Some people don't get approved at all for any of the cards till 2-4 yrs out, some (very rare).. Like me, Get approved for within months post BK with them.
