Re: amex delta gold invitation and BK

That's arguably the easiest Amex card to get approved for. You'll be fine. Don't sweat it.

So long as AMEX was not IIB, I think you have very good odds of approval.  AMEX absolutely LOVES low UTIL.   I was instantly approved for BCE in March, with Ch 7 BK from October 2005 (AMEX was not IIB).  My UTIL was around 8% at approval and EX FICO score was 673.

Re: amex delta gold invitation and BK

You should be good. I had a Chap 7 BK discharged in Aug 2004 and got back in with Amex in Aug 2013 (9 years) so if yours is soon to fall off you should be OK. I did not have to recon any of my Amex cards either.

 

Good luck
