What if you filed bankruptcy, can you still get approved for this card if your FICO score is 690? I'd rather not have them pull my score if they do not approve people who filed.

be prepared for a lot (3-7 a week) of unwanted solicitation. I'm thinking of cancelling if they don't stop calling. I've even opted out once, but they opt me back in within 6 months.

solicitation? you're on bensbargains, but don't know about the do not call registry?
btw, this is the only card i ever use anymore. extends product warranty to 2x the original manufacturers, return protection, money back, and probably some of th ebest fraud protection around.

Decent card although you have to spend over $6500 to see any real cash back. Example case: spend $25,000 a year, get $500 cash back.
