Substitute Information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K:
Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB: Significant Obligors of Pool Assets (Financial Information).
The pool assets held by the American Express Credit Account Master Trust (the “Trust”) do not include any significant obligors.
Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB: Credit Enhancement and Other Support, Except for Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial Information).
Based on the standards set forth in Item 1114(b) of Regulations AB, no information is required in response to this Item.
Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB: Certain Derivatives Instruments (Financial Information).
Based on the standards set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulations AB, no information is required in response to this Item.
Item 1117 of Regulation AB: Legal Proceedings.
American Express Company and its affiliates (collectively, “American Express”), including the servicer and the account owners, are, from time to time, subject to various pending or threatened legal proceedings arising out of their card origination, servicing and merchant network services activities. The potential effect of these lawsuits on the certificates issued by the trust cannot be predicted at this time. American Express has been named in a number of purported class actions in which the plaintiffs allege an unlawful antitrust tying arrangement between American Express’ charge cards, on the one hand, and its credit cards and debit cards, on the other, in violation of various state and federal laws. The plaintiffs in these actions seek injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of damages. American Express filed a motion to dismiss all of the actions that were filed prior to April 30, 2004 pending in the Southern District of New York and, with respect to one case pending in California, to stay the action pending resolution of the motion to dismiss. On July 1, 2005, the Court denied American Express’ motion to dismiss. The California case remains stayed. On March 16, 2006, the Court granted American Express’ motion to compel arbitration of the claims of those merchants whose card acceptance agreement contains an arbitration clause. That decision has been appealed. New claims have now been filed against American Express challenging contract provisions that prohibit merchants from attempting to switch cardmembers to other forms of payment and that prohibit merchants from discriminating against the American Express Card by placing restrictions on card use (such as surcharging) that are not placed on cards issued by competitors. These new claims are pending in the Southern District of New York and are subject to the March 16 arbitration ruling.
In June 2006, a putative class action captioned Homa v.American Express Companyetal. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. The case alleges, generally, misleading and fraudulent advertising of the “tiered”“up to 5%” cash rebates with the Blue Cash card. The complaint originally sought certification of a nationwide class consisting of “all persons who applied for and received an American Express Blue Cash card during the period from September 30, 2003 to the present and who did not get the rebate or rebates provided for in the offer”, but has since been amended to seek only a New Jersey statewide class. The plaintiff seeks unspecified damages and other unspecified relief that the Court deems appropriate. American Express has moved to compel arbitration.

Information required by Item 1119 of Regulation AB has been omitted from this report on Form 10-K in reliance on the Instruction to Item 1119.
Item 1122 of Regulation AB: Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.
Each of American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“TRS”), for itself and on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiaries Amex Card Services Company (“ACSC”), American Express Centurion Bank and American Express Bank, FSB, and Regulus Group LLC, for itself and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Regulus”) and The Bank of New York (each, a “Servicing Participant”) has been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function with respect to the pool assets held by the American Express Credit Account Master Trust. Each of the Servicing Participants has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, which Reports on Assessment are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Servicing Participants has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered independent public accounting firm regarding its related Report on Assessment. Each Attestation Report is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K. None of the Reports on Assessment or the related Attestation Reports has identified any material instances of noncompliance with the servicing criteria described in the related Report on Assessment as being applicable to such Servicing Participant.
Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) require that each Servicing Participant complete a Report on Assessment at a “platform” level, meaning that the transactions covered by the Report on Assessment should include all asset-backed securities transactions involving such Servicing Participant that are backed by the same asset type. During 2006, TRS’ proprietary facilities conducted
paper payment remittance processing services. Regulus also performed paper payment remittance processing services at three locations in the United States. As a remittance processor, Regulus is responsible for, among other services, transmitting payment information to TRS, which TRS in turn uses to update its account obligor records. Regulus also is responsible for encoding and processing the remittance checks received by TRS at these locations. In its Report on Assessment attached as Exhibit 33.2 to this Form 10-K, Regulus defines its platform to include (i) remittance processing services it provides to customers who are issuers or servicers of asset backed securities transactions and (ii) who have requested confirmation of Regulus’ compliance in connection with loan and/or receivables portfolios that include pool assets for asset backed securities transactions. The Bank of New York is Trustee of the Trust. In its Report on Assessment attached as Exhibit 33.3 to this Form 10-K, The Bank of New York defines its platform to include (i) publicly-issued asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 (and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006), and (ii) for which The Bank of New York provides trustee, securities administration, or paying agent services, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities. Based on our understanding of their platforms and the guidance that is available at this time, we believe that the criteria set forth by Regulus and The Bank of New York are parameters by which a servicing participant should be permitted to define and limit its platform; however, because this is the first year that Reports on Assessment of Compliance are being issued under Item 1122 of Regulation AB and the guidance at this time is subject to clarification and change, we cannot assure you that the SEC and its staff will necessarily agree.
None of TRS or the Trust is an affiliate of Regulus or The Bank of New York.
Item 1123 of Regulation AB: Servicer Compliance Statement.
Each of TRS, ACSC, American Express Centurion Bank, American Express Bank, FSB and Regulus has been identified by the registrant as a servicer or subservicer with respect to the pool assets held by the Trust. Each of them has provided a Statement of Compliance for the period covered by this Form 10-K (a “Compliance Statement”), in each case signed by an authorized officer thereof. Each Compliance Statement is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.
