Getting Credit After a Bankruptcy

I declared bankruptcy of few years ago and even though all I have made all my payments on time since then I still did not qualify for a regular credit card.  My best friend told me about the best credit card deals people with bad credit could qualify for and gave me a telephone number to call.  I thought maybe it would have a super high interest rate, but it really wasn’t that bad.  In a couple of years the bankruptcy will finally fall off of my credit history and should not be affecting my score anymore, but in the meantime it’s nice to know that I could have a card for emergencies.
