Synchrony get back in timeframe

what is the soonest someone has gotten approved for a synchrony account after a bankrupty

 

they were included in bankruptcy (actually was charged off and sold to midland funding or portfolio recovery prior)

 

when I call Lowe's or amazon the system still thinks I have an account and routes me to the debt department for 1099c/bankruptcies etc.  tells me it was sold to a debt buyer  

 

it's been 14 months since BK filed

 

and charged off over 24 months ago

Re: Synchrony get back in timeframe

Speaking from my experience, 2 years and 2 months post Discharge. 
I was auto declined even for the Amazon Secured Card and they wouldn't pull credit either. 
I finally knew I could get an account when I noticed they actually tried pulling my credit. I keep all 3 bureau's frozen unless I'm truly applying.

2 and a half years Post Discharge, I was Approved for Sam's Club $500 but denied PayPal Extra's MC due to too many inquiries.

You didn't ask but I'll volunteer:

Target approved me about a year after discharge

Discover, Credit One and Barclays are still mad with me lol

I was also able to prequalify for the $0 Annual Fee Indigo Mastercard. It only comes with a $300 limit and never increases.
