Minimum Score required

Can anyone tell me what the minimum score is that you need to get a credit card better then sub-prime ones like Capital one and Orchard bank? My scores are as follows: TU: 611 EQ: 638 EX: 652

What baddies do you have? Scores are not everything.

IF baddies= collections, bankruptcy, I don't have any of those. All my accounts are current, the #1 baddie I have is late payment history--my most recent one 6 months ago.

What other credit cards do you have?
 
Your EX score should be high enough for a Amex Delta.
