    Question Easiest American Express Card To Get

    What is the easiest American Express card to get? My credit is alright now but I've had some mishaps in the past. Nothing too bad like a bankruptcy or anything like that but I did have some 30 day late payments when I was going thru some family problems. That was about 4.5 years ago.

    I would like to get an American Express card because of the benefits they offer but I don't know if I'll qualify. What is the easiest American Express card to qualify for?

    Default Easiest American Express card to get? Here's my best guess...

    Hello and welcome to Credit Card Forum!

    As you know, American Express is extremely picky about who gets their cards. They are known to be very bankruptcy unfriendly and if you ever had a charge off on an American Express card, some allege it is nearly impossible to ever get a card from them again.

    My guess would be that the new Zync card would be the easiest American Express credit card to qualify for. It is aimed at younger adults who naturally have limited credit history. Best of all it has the lowest annual fee among all the American Express card that carry a fee. You can read more about it in my American Express Zync Card review to find out more.

    He must have been under his parents. In the United States you can't get a credit card by yourself under the age of 18.
    Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

    Current Cards:     American Express: Blue Cash, Simply Cash Bank of America: WorldPoints Platinum Plus Chase: Amazon, British Airways, Cash Plus Rewards, Freedom, Ink Cash Citi: Thank You Premier, Dividend Platinum Select Discover: More
    Primary Everyday Card: American Express Blue Cash
    Primary Travel Card: Citi Thank You Premier
