People drive me nuts with these answers, critical thinking skills are missing. Even if the cards are “hard” to get it still has levels. I read the question not as “is it easy to get an Amex” but “which card has the lowest requirements?” Lowest requirements doesn’t mean 500 credit score it simply means the lowest for that company which could be 750, it’s not a low number but is the LOWEST REQUIREMENT. From reading the answers NONE of you answered the question just went on your personal rant. So for clarity I will re-ask the question for the OP.
Which AMEX card has the lowest requirements?

There are no American Express credit cards that are easy to get as they all require good credit or better. More specifically, most American Express cards, including the Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express card, are easier to get if you have at least good credit and you meet all other requirements for approval.
While American Express credit cards aren’t that easy to obtain, there are several credit cards from other issuers that are easy to get approved for.

Having one of these credit cards may increase your chances of landing an American Express credit card in the future, if you use it responsibly. That means paying your bill on time every month and keeping your credit utilization below 30% of your credit limit.

Generally their cobranded cards (Delta, Hilton, etc) are easier to get approved for than their core revolving cards (Blue Cash Everyday, Blue Cash Preferred) or charge cards (Platinum, Gold, Green). Some say their charge cards are easy to get than their core revolving.

I don't think they've got any secured cards, if that's what you're asking. The easiest ones are ones you can get with a "Good" score, which is to the tune of 700 and above. It's not exactly easy, but if you're around those numbers, you have a nice pick of cards with rewards, like Blue Cash Everyday.

Amex cards aren't easy to get. If you don't have (at least) good credit, I'd say look elsewhere. Capital One, Citi, and Discover have good secured cards or maybe cards designed for fair credit.
Did we answer your question?
They adhere to strict standards.
Exactly. I think they write to promote their sponsored income-generating cards, while not answering the question.
The Gold Delta Skymiles Amex has always had a reputation for being the easiest to get as I’m not a credit under writer I can’t say for sure but based on what I’ve heard over the years between 640-660 should be good enough credit to get this card… it’s the only one ever listed for someone with “Average Credit”
