Average discount rate (C)		2.56	%		2.55	%
Average basic cardmember spending (dollars) (D)	$	3,288		$	2,712			21	%
Average fee per card (dollars) (D)	$	37		$	35			6	%
Average fee per card adjusted (dollars) (D)	$	41		$	39			5	%

(A) Card billed business includes activities (including cash advances) related to proprietary cards, cards issued under network partnership agreements, and certain insurance fees charged on proprietary cards. Card billed business is reflected in the United States or outside the United States based on where the cardmember is domiciled.

(B) Total cards-in-force represents the number of cards that are issued and outstanding. Proprietary basic consumer cards-in-force includes basic cards issued to the primary account owner and does not include additional supplemental cards issued on that account. Proprietary basic small business and corporate cards-in-force include basic and supplemental cards issued to employee cardmembers. Non-proprietary basic cards-in-force includes all cards that are issued and outstanding under network partnership agreements.

(C) This calculation is designed to reflect pricing at merchants accepting general purpose American Express cards. It represents the percentage of billed business (both proprietary and Global Network Services) retained by the Company from merchants it acquires, prior to payments to third parties unrelated to merchant acceptance.

(D) Average basic cardmember spending and average fee per card are computed from proprietary card activities only. Average fee per card is computed based on net card fees, including the amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs, plus card fees included in interest and fees on loans (including related amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs), divided by average worldwide proprietary cards-in-force. The card fees related to cardmember loans included in interest and fees on loans were $48 million and $45 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The adjusted average fee per card is computed in the same manner, but excludes amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs (a portion of which is charge card related and included in net card fees and a portio n of which is lending related and included in interest and fees on loans). The amount of amortization excluded was $56 million and $62 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company presents adjusted average fee per card because management believes that this metric presents a useful indicator of card fee pricing across a range of its proprietary card products.

# - Denotes a variance of more than 100%.

(A) Represents loss provisions for cardmember receivables consisting of principal (resulting from authorized transactions) and fee reserve components. Adjustments to cardmember receivables resulting from unauthorized transactions have been reclassified from this line to “Other” for all periods presented.

(B) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company’s cardmember loans and related debt performance information on a GAAP basis was referred to as the “owned” basis presentation. The information presented on a GAAP basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 includes only non-securitized cardmember loans that were included in the Company’s balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and related debt is also consolidated on its balance sheet upon the adoption of GAAP governing the accounting for transfers of financial assets and consolidation of variable interest entities (the “new GAAP”). Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2010, the GAAP basis presentation includes both securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans. Refer to page 20 for a discussion of GAAP basis information.

(C) See Appendix III for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure and net interest income divided by average loans, a GAAP measure. The Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company’s cardmember loans portfolio.

(D) This calculation includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the cardmember loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on cardmember loans. The calculation includes interest income and interest expense attributable to investment securities and other interest-bearing deposits as well as to cardmember loans, and interest expense attributable to other activities, including cardmember receivables.

(E) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, information presented is based on the Company’s historical non-GAAP, or “managed” basis presentation. Unlike the GAAP basis presentation, the information presented on a managed basis in such periods includes both the securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans. The adoption of new GAAP on January 1, 2010 resulted in accounting for both the Company’s securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company’s 2010 GAAP presentations and managed basis presentations prior to 2010 are generally comparable. Refer to page 20 for a discussion of managed basis information.

(D) Average basic cardmember spending and average fee per card are computed from proprietary card activities only. Average fee per card is computed based on net card fees, including the amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs, plus card fees included in interest and fees on loans (including related amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs), divided by average worldwide proprietary cards-in-force. The card fees related to cardmember loans included in interest and fees on loans were $48 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, $51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, $54 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, $47 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and $45 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The adjusted average fee per card is computed in the same manner, but excludes amortization of deferred direct acquisition costs (a portion of which is charge card related and included in net card fees and a portion of which is lending related and included in interest and fees on loans). The amount of amortization excluded for these periods was $56 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, $51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, $54 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2009, $57 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, and $62 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The Company presents adjusted average fee per card because management believes that this metric presents a useful indicator of card fee pricing across a range of its proprietary card products.

(B) Effective January 1, 2010, the Company revised the time period in which past due cardmember receivables in International Card Services and Global Commercial Services are written off when they are 180 days past due or earlier, consistent with applicable bank regulatory guidance and the write-off methodology adopted for U.S. Card Services in the fourth quarter of 2008. Previously, receivables were written off when they were 360 days past billing or earlier. Therefore, the net write-offs for the first quarter of 2010 include net write-offs of approximately $60 million for International Card Services and approximately $48 million for Global Commercial Services resulting from this write-off methodology change, which increased the net loss ratios and decreased the 90 days past billing metrics for these segments , but did not have a substantial impact on provisions for losses. If these amounts had been excluded from net write-offs, the combined net loss ratio for International Card Services/Global Commercial Services for the first quarter of 2010 would have been 0.13%.

(C) Beginning with the first quarter of 2010, the Company has revised the net loss ratio to exclude net write-offs related to unauthorized transactions, consistent with the methodology for calculation of the net write-off rate for U.S. Card Services. The metrics for prior periods have not been restated for this change as it was deemed immaterial.

(D) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company’s cardmember loans and related debt performance information on a GAAP basis was referred to as the “owned” basis presentation. The information presented on a GAAP basis for such periods includes only non-securitized cardmember loans that were included in the Company’s balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and related debt is also consolidated on its balance sheet upon the adoption of the new GAAP. Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2010, the GAAP basis presentation includes both securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans . Refer to page 20 for a discussion of GAAP basis information.

(E) Reflects the new GAAP effective January 1, 2010, which resulted in the consolidation of the American Express Credit Account Master Trust (the Lending Trust), reflecting $29.0 billion of additional cardmember loans along with a $2.5 billion loan loss reserve on the Company’s balance sheets.

(F) See Appendix III for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure and net interest income divided by average loans, a GAAP measure. The Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company’s cardmember loans portfolio.

(G) This calculation includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the cardmember loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on cardmember loans. The calculation includes interest income and interest expense attributable to investment securities and other interest-bearing deposits as well as to cardmember loans, and interest expense attributable to other activities, including cardmember receivables.

(H) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, information presented is based on the Company’s historical non-GAAP, or “managed” basis presentation. Unlike the GAAP basis presentation, the information presented on a managed basis in such periods includes both the securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans. The adoption of new GAAP on January 1, 2010 resulted in accounting for both the Company’s securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company’s 2010 GAAP presentations and managed basis presentations prior to 2010 are generally comparable. Refer to page 20 for a discussion of managed basis information.

(B) Includes provisions for losses for off-balance sheet cardmember loans based on the same methodology as applied to on-balance sheet cardmember loans, except that any quarterly adjustment to reserve levels for on-balance sheet loans to address external environmental factors was not applied to adjust the provision expense for the securitized portfolio.

Cardmember Loan Portfolio Presentations

For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company’s non-securitized cardmember loans and related debt performance information on a GAAP basis was referred to as the “owned” basis presentation. For such periods, the Company also provided such information on a non-GAAP “managed” basis. Unlike the GAAP basis presentation, the managed basis presentation in such periods assumed there had been no off-balance sheet securitizations for the Company’s U.S. Card Services segment (the Company does not currently securitize its international cardmember loans), resulting in the inclusion of all securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans and related debt in the Company’s performance information.

Under the GAAP basis presentation for periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, prior to a securitization, revenues and expenses from cardmember loans and related debt were reflected in the Company’s income statements in other commissions and fees, net interest income and provisions for losses for cardmember loans. At the time of a securitization transaction, the securitized cardmember loans were removed from the Company’s balance sheet, and the resulting gain on sale was reflected in securitization income, net, as well as a reduction to provisions for losses (credit reserves were no longer recorded for the cardmember loans once sold). Over the life of a securitization transaction, the Company recognized the net cash flow from interest and fee collections on interests sold to investors (the investors&# 8217; interests) after deducting interest paid on the investors’ certificates, credit losses, contractual service fees, other expenses and changes in the fair value of the interest-only strip (referred to as “excess spread”). These amounts, in addition to servicing fees and the non-credit components of the gains/(losses) from securitization activities were reflected in securitization income, net. The Company also recognized interest income over the life of the securitization transaction related to the interest it retained (i.e., the seller’s interest).

At the maturity of a securitization transaction, cardmember loans on the balance sheet increased, and the impact of the incremental required loss reserves was recorded in provisions for losses.

Under the managed basis presentation for periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, revenues and expenses related to securitized cardmember loans and related debt are reflected in other commissions and fees (included in discount revenue, net card fees and other), interest income, interest expense and provisions for losses. In addition, there is no securitization income, net as this presentation assumes no securitization transactions have occurred.

Historically, the Company included U.S. Card Services information on a managed basis, as that was the manner in which the Company’s management viewed and managed the business. Management believed that a full picture of trends in the Company’s cardmember loans business could only be derived by evaluating the performance of both securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans, as the presentation of the entire cardmember loan portfolio was more representative of the economics of the aggregate cardmember relationships and ongoing business performance and related trends over time. The managed basis presentation also provided investors a more comprehensive assessment of the information necessary for the Company and investors to evaluate the Company’s market share.

The adoption of new GAAP on January 1, 2010 resulted in accounting for both the Company’s securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company’s 2010 GAAP presentations and managed basis presentations prior to 2010 are generally comparable.

Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2010, the GAAP basis presentation includes both securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans. Refer to page 20 for a discussion of GAAP basis information.

(D) See Appendix IV for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure and net interest income divided by average loans, a GAAP measure. The Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company’s cardmember loans portfolio.

(E) This calculation includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the cardmember loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on cardmember loans. The calculation includes interest income and interest expense attributable to investment securities and other interest-bearing deposits as well as to cardmember loans, and interest expense attributable to other activities, including cardmember receivables.

(F) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, information presented is based on the Company’s historical non-GAAP, or “managed” basis presentation. Unlike the GAAP basis presentation, the information presented on a managed basis in such periods includes both the securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans. The adoption of new GAAP on January 1, 2010 resulted in accounting for both the Company’s securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the Company’s 2010 GAAP presentations and managed basis presentations prior to 2010 are generally comparable. Refer to page 20 for a discussion of managed basis information.

(A) Segment capital represents capital allocated to a segment based upon specific business operational needs, risk measures, and regulatory capital requirements.

(B) Refer to Appendix II for components of return on average segment capital and return on average tangible segment capital.

(C) Effective January 1, 2010, the Company revised the time period in which past due cardmember receivables in International Card Services are written off to when they are 180 days past due or earlier, consistent with applicable bank regulatory guidance and the write-off methodology adopted for U.S. Card Services in the fourth quarter of 2008. Previously, receivables were written off when they were 360 days past billing or earlier. Therefore, the net write-offs for the first quarter of 2010 include net write-offs of approximately $60 million for International Card Services resulting from this write-off methodology change, which increased the net loss ratio and decreased the 90 days past billing metric for this segment, but did not have a substantial impact on provisions for losses. If this amount had been excl uded from net write-offs, the net loss ratio for International Card Services for the first quarter of 2010 would have been 0.17%.

(D) Beginning with the first quarter of 2010, the Company has revised the net loss ratio to exclude net write-offs related to unauthorized transactions, consistent with the methodology for calculation of the net write-off rate for U.S. Card Services. The metrics for prior periods have not been restated for this change as it was deemed immaterial.

(E) See Appendix IV for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, a non-GAAP measure and net interest income divided by average loans, a GAAP measure. The Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans is useful to investors because it provides a measure of profitability of the Company’s cardmember loans portfolio.

(F) This calculation includes elements of total interest income and total interest expense that are not attributable to the cardmember loan portfolio, and thus is not representative of net interest yield on cardmember loans. The calculation includes interest income and interest expense attributable to investment securities and other interest-bearing deposits as well as to cardmember loans, and interest expense attributable to other activities, including cardmember receivables.

(C) Effective January 1, 2010, the Company revised the time period in which past due cardmember receivables in Global Commercial Services are written off to when they are 180 days past due or earlier, consistent with applicable bank regulatory guidance and the write-off methodology adopted for U.S. Card Services in the fourth quarter of 2008. Previously, receivables were written off when they were 360 days past billing or earlier. Therefore, the net write-offs for the first quarter of 2010 include net write-offs of approximately $48 million for Global Commercial Services resulting from this write-off methodology change, which increased the net loss ratio and decreased the 90 days past billing metric for this segment, but did not have a substantial impact on provisions for losses. If this amount had been exclu ded from net write-offs, the net loss ratio for Global Commercial Services for the first quarter of 2010 would have been 0.11%.

(A) Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, the Company changed the manner in which it allocates interest expense and capital to its reportable operating segments. The change reflects modifications in allocation methodology that the Company believes to more accurately reflect the funding and capital characteristics of its segments. The change to interest allocation impacted the consolidated net interest yield on cardmember loans. Accordingly, the net interest yields for periods prior to the first quarter of 2010 have been restated for this change.

(B) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company’s cardmember loans and related debt performance information on a GAAP basis was referred to as the “owned” basis presentation. The information presented on a GAAP basis for such periods includes only non-securitized cardmember loans that were included in the Company’s balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2010, the Company’s securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and related debt is also consolidated on its balance sheet upon the adoption of the new GAAP. Accordingly, beginning January 1, 2010, the GAAP basis presentation includes both securitized and non-securitized cardmember loans. Refer to page 20 for a discussion of GAAP basis information.

(C) Represents net interest income allocated to the Company’s cardmember loans portfolio on a GAAP or managed basis, as applicable, in each case excluding the impact of card fees on loans and balance transfer fees attributable to the Company’s cardmember loans.

(D) Represents average cardmember loans on a GAAP or managed portfolio basis, as applicable, in each case excluding the impact of deferred card fees, net of deferred direct acquisition costs of cardmember loans.

(E) Net interest yield on cardmember loans is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the net spread earned on cardmember loans. Net interest yield on cardmember loans is computed by dividing adjusted net interest income by adjusted average loans, computed on an annualized basis. The calculation of net interest yield on cardmember loans includes interest that is deemed uncollectible. For all presentations of net interest yield on cardmember loans, reserves and net write-offs related to uncollectible interest are recorded through provisions for losses - cardmember loans; therefore, such reserves and net write-offs are not included in the net interest yield calculation.

(G) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the information presented includes the adjustments to the GAAP “owned” basis presentation for such periods attributable to securitization activity for interest income and interest expense to arrive at the non-GAAP “managed” basis information, which adjustments are set forth under the U.S. Card Services managed basis presentation on page 23.
