Corporate Credit Card post-bankruptcy

246 Posts


My employer has said that they want to give me a corporate credit card (which doesn't seem necessary right now as I'm not travelling anywhere). I can't find out whether personal credit impacts likelihood of getting a business credit card, but my situation is that I'm a discharged bankrupt (approaching 2 years discharged). To potentially complicate matters, one of my creditors when I went BR was Amex, who of course are the corporate credit card my employer uses.
What are my chances of being able to have this card? My wife thinks I should just roll with it and see if I get it. But I'm diligently building up my credit profile and don't want a decline on my record if I can help it. Can anyone advise?

I wouldn't think your credit report would be searched.
During my BR my son got me a credit card on his account for emergencies
The card had my name but he was liable for the bills
Worst case scenario is that there is a search but there will never be a decline on your record, as of course declines aren't shown.
