They should delay applying for an unsecured credit card.

After filing Chapter 7, creditors are unlikely to extend new unsecured credit and charging on new cards can be denied or treated as fraud. It’s advisable to wait until after the bankruptcy process (and your credit rebuild) before seeking new unsecured credit.
