No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.

No problem. I've opened three accounts, applied for 3 CLI's (received 1), and push about 75% of my reported annual income through these cards (PIF each month, of course!)... so if there were any red flags I could possibly throw up, they would have been flapping in the breeze long ago.

Haha yeah I hear that... Congrats on the Post BK success!!!
I'm definitely encouraged with your successes folks! Duncanrr, I agree with you. My BK happened as a combined result of serious family illness and horrible real estate dive. After a few years of very lucrative deals, I decided to go big about 6 months before Bear Stearns croaked. Instead of bailing, I dug deeper and piled on CC debt on my very large limits thinking I would be fine in the long run. All while paying for 24hr care for the pops. In any case, thats all history. My financial house is definitely in order and thank God I found this site.
I just feel better knowing I'm not stuck with CreditOne for the next five years lol.

This, secured cards or prime or nothing
Point taken.
Assuming I stay the course for another 1 year, when would it be safe to attempt a prime app? Which one would you guys recommend?

All the best to you. My brother got in trouble with stock options so I know how quickly it can turn from good to bad. There are some excellent people here with tremendous amounts of knowledge. When you get about a year post BK you could probably look at Barclays and some other BK friendly lenders. Im not too familiar with BK rebuidling as its something Ive never had to do but there are others here that can chime in.

Cap One, Hooters, Barclay cards, Citi, HSBC are a few that are bankruptcy friendly.

Also Barclay's apple. Discover more... 36 months post Bk.... May wanna check it out and see what other members are getting. Ive fortunately never been in your shoes. Good luck on your rebuild
