This is a recent email I got from Stu.<\/p>\n
how difficult is it to get a new amex card after filing bankrupcy, I paid them in full before filing<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Answer<\/b> – Stu – to get to the bottom of this, I actually called American Express. The first person I spoke to was from customer service and she was not able to answer that. Then she transferred me to “new accounts” and this was the answer I got from them.<\/p>\n
A bankruptcy stays on your credit report for potentially up to 10 years. As long as you have a bankruptcy record on your credit report, American Express will not approve the card. I then asked them if someone could put you as an authorized user on an Amex Card. The answer was it should not be a problem though he cannot be 100% certain about that.<\/p>\n
So there you go, the short answer is no.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
