Simple Q: What's the *easiest* AMEX card to qualify for?

I see ads for the new SkyMiles Blue card all over the web (especially here), and it looks to me like an "entry level" credit product.

Boy would I love to be a cardmember again! I was a long time holder of a SPG Amex, and a Platinum business card. 2008-09 crushed me, and along with everything else, I lost my AMEX cards (which were discharged).

Since this was more than 7 years ago, they no longer appear on my credit report (although a whole bunch of other garbage is on there, bringing down my score).

I'm curious now: what is the easiest AMEX to qualify for?

Obviously I'm not getting a platinum card any time soon, but they offer so many products, some of them are bound to have different qualification thresholds.

Any ideas?
