No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I'd do a secured card somewhere else for a second tradeline.
Better to establish a diversity of lenders honestly; not sure how BK friendly BOFA is (probably not at all but I don't know specifically), but you may want to look into something like SDFCU which has an excellent secured card and doesn't do a credit check either for membership or for the secured card application.
There's other lenders which would be likely too, but right now I'd recommend just picking up any 2-3 tradelines and start building positive history post-BK.

We are ecstatic that they approved unsecured but just want to get a few good TL's reporting
Good point, most deposits run in the $250-300 range minimum. If you only have $50 to work with, get the Cap One secured and go on with life. Then maybe add another lender when your finances support it.
It will do everything you actually need in your current situation: namely, another tradeline that you can demonstrate credit-worthiness post-BK. Multiple lenders is desirous, but not required honestly.
I've always heard BOFA is extremely unfriendly towards BKs. Might I recommend a store card? Walmart has been really successful for some people, but really, wherever you shop frequently.
