credit score hits

approximately what would my credit score have to be to be approved for an AmEx card?
I’ve got a good income, and have made all payments on time for a year. I missed a couple last year (my senior year of college) so my score is lower than it could be (581). I don’t want my score to take the hit from an inquiry if I don’t get approved.
I would prefer an AmEx charge card, but any of their cards would do. Thanks.
If you’re looking for an AMEX charge card– it should be a little bit easier to get than one of their credit cards. I would say you’re right near the cut-off (about 580-600). If you’d like to apply, you can find a complete list of American Express cards here:

Hope this helps. GOOD LUCK!
