mrrob's review: 
I had this card before and had no balance but when I filled BK they canceled my card. Last night I went online and was approved for $2000.00 limit. Didn't like the interest rate though 29.99% but will pay the bill off ASAP. I just ordered a laptop bag and that's it. Things are starting to look up.

Congrats, and great strategy! Nice limit for a 2nd card. However, don't go off your plan and get caught with unpaid balances. That will likely be a sure trap for most cardholders that don't pay in full.

Wow, that's really a fast turn around for 3 years BK. I know someone else who got a Dell account about a little over a year ago during the BK (while in progress). But you had the card before too... You probably had a good history with them. I tried to apply and was instantly denied... Not sure why...

Yes had the card before BK but had no balance, at one time it was as high as $1500 but paid it off then d/t financial problems was forced into BK.

The wife was just approved for a Dell Prefereed Account. We both had this card prior to filing BK however she had no balance, guess they missed her. Approved for $1000, don't like the interest rate though
