This is an estimated approval range based on industry data and cardholder reports. American Express does not publish a minimum credit score requirement, and approval decisions consider additional factors such as income, credit history, existing debt, and payment history.

Worth noting
A practical reading of where the card earns, what the fee buys, and which limits matter.
1 Membership Rewards point per $1 on purchases, plus an extra point on hotel and car bookings via Amex Travel. No annual fee.
Travel receive the strongest estimated return at 2.0%. Purchases outside the accelerated categories earn an estimated 1.0%.
There is no annual fee to recover, which can make the card easier to keep for credit-history length or occasional use. Interest and other transaction fees can still apply.
This card is most relevant for someone who spends consistently on travel and dining and prefers to avoid a yearly fee.
Compare the purchase interest rate, foreign-transaction fee, approval requirements, reward limits, and insurance certificates. Pay particular attention to merchant-category rules because a store may not receive the reward rate its products appear to suggest.
