INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 8.01. | Other Events. |
The following information relates to the credit card receivables owned by American Express Credit Account Master Trust and the related credit card accounts. Some of the terms used herein are used as defined in the Glossary of Terms at the end of this report.
The Trust Portfolio
General
The primary assets of the trust are receivables generated from time to time in a portfolio of designated consumer American Express credit card accounts and Pay Over Time revolving credit features associated with charge card accounts and, in the future, may include other charge or credit accounts or products.
The accounts in the Trust Portfolio were selected from the Total Portfolio based upon the eligibility criteria specified in the purchase agreements and the pooling and servicing agreement applied with respect to the accounts as of their selection date.Subject only to these criteria and any applicable regulatory guidelines, the account owners have the discretion to select the accounts in the Total Portfolio for addition to the Trust Portfolio. The account owners have in the past considered, and may in the future consider, factors such as product type, tenure of an account and interest rate applicable to an account in determining the accounts to be added to the Trust Portfolio. Set forth below is certain information with respect to the Trust Portfolio.
The Trust Portfolio’s yield, loss, delinquency and payment rate is comprised of segments which may, when taken individually, have yield, loss, delinquency and payment rate characteristics different from those of the overall Trust Portfolio. There can be no assurance that the yield, loss, delinquency and payment rate experience relating to the receivables in the Trust Portfolio in the future will be comparable to the historical experience relating to the receivables in the Trust Portfolio set forth below.
Loss and Delinquency Experience
The following tables set forth the loss and delinquency experience for the Trust Portfolio for each of the periods shown. The loss and delinquency rates at any time reflect, among other factors, the quality of the Trust Portfolio, the average seasoning of the accounts, the success of the account owners’ collection efforts, the product mix of the Trust Portfolio and general economic conditions.
The following table sets forth the loss experience for the Trust Portfolio for each indicated period. Total gross charge-offs include charge-offs of principal receivables only, and do not include any charge-offs of finance charge and fee receivables or the amount of any reductions in principal receivables due to a rebate, refund, error, fraudulent charge or other miscellaneous adjustment. If finance charge and fee receivables that have beencharged-off were included in total gross charge-offs, total gross charge-offs would be higher as an absolute number and as a percentage of the average principal receivables outstanding during the periods indicated. Recoveries are collections received in respect ofcharged-off accounts in the Trust Portfolio during the period indicated in the following table. Total recoveries for each indicated period include recoveries of principal, finance charges and certain fees for that period. Under the pooling and servicing agreement, recoveries are treated as collections of finance charge receivables. Total net charge-offs are an amount equal to total gross charge-offs minus total recoveries, each for the applicable period. Average principal receivables outstanding for each indicated period is the average of themonth-end principal receivables balances for that period. We cannot provide any assurance that the loss experience for the receivables in the Trust Portfolio in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth below.

Revenue Experience
The following table sets forth the revenue experience for the Trust Portfolio from total finance charge and fee collections for each indicated period. Total finance charge and fee collections set forth in the table below include periodic finance charges, cash advance fees, annual membership fees, other fees, discount option yield, Issuer Rate Fees and recoveries oncharged-off accounts. Under the pooling and servicing agreement, recoveries oncharged-off accounts are treated as collections of finance charge receivables. Starting in the June 2009 Monthly Period, the transferors began transferring receivables to the trust at a discount based on a discount percentage equal to (i) 6.0% during the June 2009 Monthly Period, (ii) 3.0% during the July 2009 Monthly Period, (iii) 2.0% starting in the August 2009 Monthly Period and continuing through the last day of the January 2010 Monthly Period, and (iv) 1.0% starting in the February 2010 Monthly Period and continuing through the last day of the July 2010 Monthly Period, at which time the discount percentage was reduced to 0.0%. Collections of receivables designated as discount option receivables during this period were first received in the July 2009 Monthly Period, and collections on those discount option receivables ceased in the February 2012 Monthly Period. There can be no assurance that the revenues for the Trust Portfolio in the future will be similar to the historical experience of the Trust Portfolio set forth below.
Revenue experience from total finance charge and fee collections results from dividing total finance charges and fee collections by the average principal receivables outstanding. The average principal receivables outstanding for each indicated period is the average of themonth-end principal receivables balances for that period.

The historical revenue figures for the Trust Portfolio shown in the table above include interest on purchases and cash advances and fees collected from holders of the accounts during the applicable month. Revenues from finance charges and fees collected will be affected by numerous factors, including the periodic finance charges on the receivables, the amount of fees paid by account holders, the percentage of account holders who pay off their balances in full each month and do not incur periodic finance charges on purchases and change in the level of delinquencies on the receivables. Revenues related to finance charges and fees also depend on the types of charges and fees assessed by the account owners on the accounts in the Trust Portfolio. Accordingly, revenues will be affected by future changes in the types of charges and fees assessed on the accounts and other factors. None of the servicer, any account owner or any of their respective affiliates has any basis to predict how future changes in the use of the accounts by account holders or in the terms of accounts may affect the revenue for the Trust Portfolio.
Principal Payment Rates
The following table sets forth the highest and lowest account holder monthly principal payment rates for the Trust Portfolio during any month in the period shown and the average account holder monthly principal payment rates for all months during each period shown, calculated as the percentage equivalent of a fraction. The monthly principal payment rates for each month is calculated as the amount of principal payments from account holders (excluding recoveries oncharged-off receivables) as posted to the accounts during the applicable month divided by the aggregate amount of principal receivables outstanding as of the beginning of the applicable month, normalized for a 30-day month by dividing the resulting rate by the actual number of days in the applicable month and multiplying the result by 30. In addition, as of the six months ended June 30, 2016, and with regard to the prior month’s statement only, 8.87% of the accounts in the Trust Portfolio had account holders that made only the minimum payment due under the terms of the related account agreement, and 55.91% of the accounts in the Trust Portfolio had account holders that paid their full balance under the terms of the related account agreement.

Composition by Geographic Distribution
Trust Portfolio
As of June 30, 2016, approximately 12.92%, 11.13%, 8.77%, 7.33%, 5.77% and 5.71% of the receivables related to account holders having billing addresses in California, New York, Florida, Texas, New Jersey and Georgia, respectively. Not more than 5% of the receivables related to account holders have billing addresses in any other single state.
Composition by Standardized Credit Score
Trust Portfolio
The following table sets forth the composition of the Trust Portfolio as of June 30, 2016 by FICO®* score ranges. To the extent available, FICO scores are obtained at origination and monthly thereafter. A FICO score is a measurement determined by Fair Isaac Corporation using information collected by the major credit bureaus to assess consumer credit risk. FICO risk scores rank-order consumers according to the likelihood that their credit obligations will be paid in accordance with the terms of their accounts. Although Fair Isaac Corporation discloses only limited information about the variables it uses to assess credit risk, those variables likely include, but are not limited to, debt level, credit history, payment patterns (including delinquency experience), and level of utilization of available credit. FICO scores of an individual may change over time, depending on the conduct of the individual, including the individual’s usage of his or her available credit and changes in credit score technology used by Fair Isaac Corporation.

FICO scores are based on independent, third-party information, the accuracy of which we cannot verify. The account owners do not use standardized credit scores, such as a FICO score, alone to determine the amount of charges that should be approved on a credit card account. Rather, a FICO score is only one of many factors used by Centurion and FSB, as account owners, to assess an individual’s credit and default risk. In connection with their underwriting and authorization decisions, the account owners use proprietary scoring models, which they generally have found to be more accurate predictors of credit and default risk than any single standardized credit score such as FICO. The use of proprietary models also enables an account owner to extend credit to an account holder with a lower FICO score without changing the account owner’s risk tolerance than would be the case if the account owner relied solely on FICO. The FICO scores presented below should not be used alone as a method of forecasting whether account holders will make payments in accordance with the terms of their accounts. References to “Receivables Outstanding” in the following table include both finance charge receivables and principal receivables. Because the future composition of the Trust Portfolio may change over time, this table is not necessarily indicative of the composition of the Trust Portfolio at any specific time in the future.

Static Pool Information
The Trust Portfolio is comprised of designated consumer American Express credit card accounts and Pay Over Time revolving credit features associated with charge card accounts owned by Centurion and FSB.
The following tables present charge-off, delinquency, payment rate and revenue experience of the Trust Portfolio. Due to the nature of the receivables in the Trust Portfolio, the following tables do not include information relating to (i) prepayments, because the concept of prepayments is not an applicable consideration beyond payment rate data, which is provided, or (ii) standardized credit scores, because credit decisions are being made on an ongoing basis based on continuously evolving obligor credit scores.
Data is presented in the following tables in separate increments based on the calendar year of origination of the accounts, each an “Origination Segment.” Data is presented for the five most recent Origination Segments and for the portion of the current Origination Segment ended June 30, 2016. As used in the tables, the date of origination is generally either the date the account became effective or was first used. The account aging shows activity through the indicated age of the account (e.g., 0-12 months, 13-24 months), which is referred to in this report as the “performance period.” However, data is only presented for the accounts in these Origination Segments from the time such accounts were included in the Trust Portfolio. Therefore, in the following tables, highlighted cells reflect performance periods during which no accounts from the corresponding Origination Segments were included in the Trust Portfolio. Data with respect to such performance periods is not available at this time.
As of June 30, 2016, the accounts reflected in the following tables had receivables outstanding that were approximately 10.19% of the total receivables outstanding in the Trust Portfolio at such date. Because the accounts reflected in the following tables are only a portion of the Trust Portfolio, the overall performance of the receivables in the Trust Portfolio may be different from the performance reflected in the tables below. There can be no assurance that the performance of receivables in the future will be similar to the historical experience set forth below.

Total gross charge-offs for any Origination Segment include charge-offs of principal receivables only, and do not include any charge-offs of finance charge and fee receivables or the amount of any reductions in principal receivables due to a rebate, refund, error, fraudulent charge or other miscellaneous adjustment. The gross charge-off rate, which is an annualized percentage, results from dividing total gross charge-offs by the average of the month-end principal receivables balances for each month in the applicable performance period, which is referred to in this report as the “average month-end principal receivables outstanding.”

The percentages set forth above, which are annualized percentages, result from dividing total finance charges and fees billed by the average month-end principal receivables outstanding. Total finance charges and fees billed include periodic finance charges, cash advance fees, annual membership fees, other fees and Issuer Rate Fees.
Historical data for revenue experience as reported with respect to the Trust Portfolio (i) unlike the calculation of total finance charges and fees billed above which is based on the related amounts posted to accounts, is calculated based on the related amounts collected on the accounts including recoveries, (ii) is calculated using discount option yield for periods up to and including the February 2012 Monthly Period and (iii) is calculated using Issuer Rate Fees. As a result, there are limitations to any comparison of the historical data presented in this report and the static pool data presented in the table above.
