Yes, you can get a credit card after bankruptcy. It's important to remember that bankruptcy does negatively impact your credit situation. Because of this, you may qualify for less credit cards. You may need to apply for a secured credit card, which requires you to pay a deposit before using the card. In many cases, this deposit is equal to your starting credit limit. Another option is to apply for a subprime credit card. These cards have many more fees attached to them when compared with other cards. Because of these extra fees, these kinds of cards usually aren't the best choice.
