    Approved 1 year out - Cap1 Platinum

    CapitalOne sent me an offer in the mail the same day Chase did. Chase was asking me to apply for Disney Rewards, and since I have two young children, I applied for that one first. I was denied via snail mail. I just found the Cap1 application in a pile of junk mail I was cleaning up and I figured what the heck. It is a 0% intro rate, 23% after (ouch), and no annual fee. I was approved! I was discharged one year ago this month and just started working for myself (self-employed) a month ago with a very modest income. I did not have any Cap1 accounts in my Ch 7.

    Discharged: 04/2012
    Approved: 04/2013
    Score 03/2013: 679
    Credit Limit: $1,000 unsecured
    Rate: 0% for 9 months then 23%

    I said NO do not send me blank checks. I get chills just thinking about my pre-BK days! I do have a few accounts that survived BK (Kohl's and Dell) but this is my first CC approval since. I will use it VERY wisely.

      Congratulations! Don't think twice about the interest rate, though, par for the course for someone fresh from BK. It will get better.
