Delta Fares

How do I get an American Express Card, after ch. 7 bankruptcy?

I f--cked up and had to file Ch. 7 and I had an American Express Card Blue for students, as we all know Ameircan Express is one of the harder cards to get even though Iwan's really bad at paying them late, since I had to include the card in my discharge, they have me in the system as a previous cancled account. I want one of their delta frequent flier cards that reward you with delta for every mile you spend, I wish I knew someone in their office I could pay to approve the application, but its automatically done online, any ideas how to get back in good standing? My dad said wants he lost his even after 10 years he still couldn't get it back, I guess they hold grudges!! :( Any ideas?

1. AmEx isn't tough to get anymore. They gave up their status-symbol status when they started offering Blue, Sky, etc. Have they actually denied you? Why not apply, and see what happens? Unless your bankruptcy was fairly recent, you shouldn't have that much trouble getting a charge card from them.
2. Start with a Capital One card. They have rewards like airline miles and the like and are much easier to be approved for. Once you have a good payment history with them, you can maybe use that as leverage with American Express.
