Easy cards to get

If your looking at ways to build your credit after BK, try these credit cards first. Cap 1, Dell, Firestone, and military star(if military). All of these had instant approvals and
I'm just over a year from my BK7. Just thought I would share.

Agree on Cap 1, I was approved for 2k unsecured 2 wk after my 341...........

CapitalOne is OK, but they charge $39/yr for their card marketed to poor credit risks like us. After almost a year of that card, I chucked it after I got approved for a FREE card from Barclays Bank & Discover.

You can get the mtv one that has no AF.

True on the annual fee, but for me 1st year was waived, so by the time it comes up I might be able to upgrade

I got it 1 month after my bankruptcy.

I got it 1 month after my bankruptcy.

Interesting! I went ahead and applied but was told that I could not apply because I had already applied for a CC from CapitalOne in the last 45 days (I am not so sure about this, so I will call.)

I found it interesting that one of the questions was how much investment assets I have. As I am a high roller ($180K in IRA), this should help my application.

It turns out I was declined for that MTV card.
