Are you kidding? They hand out credit cards like candy to the recently bankrupt.


This was my experience (by proxy, my aunt went bankrupt and the day it was final, bought a new car and had tons of credit card offers). They do this because they know you can't go bankrupt again for quite a while, so you're on the hook the second time.


TBH that's the problem of the companies handing out the credit cards. Companies that do that are making a business decision. You and I need not worry about their business model because they have their own spreadsheets with assumptions of how many people will not pay.


I realize Halloween was only a week ago, but I seriously never see people handing out candy as often as they do credit cards.
