discover

23 months post chapter 7 discharge and i am wondering if there would even be a purpose of apping any discover product? my utilization is around 30% scores are in signature and i have 0 lates since bk. To add to this i have 2 inquiries on all reports 1 of which is less than a month old the other is around 3 months. Yes there are other inquiries but they are all better than a year old.

How many INQ's even tho they're over a year old it could still be a factor not scoring wise but a factor still

Total across all 3 ...EX TU EQ

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

IMO, discover, like Amex is not bk friendly. I think you need a few more years

Re: discover

I have seen maybe two reports of getting in with discover around the 2-3 year post bk discharge. I assume their reports are completely clean outside of the bk. I agree with lexie that they're not very bk friendly with rare exceptions.

Starting Score: 11/29/12 TU 527; EQ 565; EX 564 fako - bk7 dc'd 2/15/13
Current Score: 1/22/15 TU 645; EQ 605; EX 633 New goal 675
Cap1 sec $1k (SD) / Fingerhut $2k / Flagship $12k / cashRewards $12k / NavChek $15k / Amazon $2k / Von Maur $1k / Firestone $2.2k / BCU $3k / NFL $1k / QS1 $750 / Target $400 / PPSC $800 / Conoco $700 (last app 09/29/14)

I would wait 2 reasons 

Not BK friendly and borerline INQ's wise 

You maybe approved but with a very small limit and Discover is not very recon friendly either
