EXHIBIT 99.2
All information in the following tables is presented on a basis prepared in
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), unless
otherwise indicated. On January 1, 2010, the Company consolidated its off-
balance sheet cardmember loans and related debt onto its balance sheet in
compliance with GAAP governing transfers of financial assets and
consolidation of variable interest entities (new GAAP adopted effective
January 1, 2010). Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, the consolidation
of these assets and liabilities resulted in certain incremental income and
expenses being reflected, as well as reclassifications of certain line items
within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. The changes described
above were made on a prospective basis; results for periods prior to 1Q'10
have not been restated. Refer to page 20 for additional discussion.
Additionally, prior period amounts have been revised to reflect various other
changes in financial and statistical reporting associated with changes in the
Company's methodology for allocating items such as interest and capital
across its reportable operating segments.

(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 $51 million and $40 million
for the quarters ended March 31, 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 portion of which is lending
related and included in interest and fees on loans). The amount of
amortization excluded was $51 million and $70 million for the quarters ended
March 31, 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) 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 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 and 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 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 would have been
0.13%.
(B) 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.
(C) 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. Under the GAAP basis
presentation 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. In accordance with the new GAAP adopted effective
January 1, 2010, the Company's securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt is consolidated on its balance sheet.
(D) Reflects the new GAAP adopted effective January 1, 2010, which resulted
in all securitization transactions being accounted for as secured borrowings
by the Company. This adoption 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 allowance
for loan loss reserve on the Company's balance sheets.
(E) See Appendix III for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember
loans and the ratio of net interest income divided by average loans. The
Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans (on both a GAAP and
non-GAAP basis) 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.
(G) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's historical non-GAAP, or "Managed" basis
presentation. For periods ending after January 1, 2010, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's entire portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt determined in accordance with GAAP and is identical to the
numbers provided in the GAAP basis portfolio above for such period. See page
20 for discussion of total portfolio information.

(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 $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, $45 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, and $40 million for the quarter ended March 31, 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 $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, $62
million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, and $70 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009. 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.

Net interest yield on cardmember loans (E) 10.3% 10.3% 10.2% 10.1% 11.1%
(A) 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 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 and 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 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 would have been
0.13%.
(B) 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.
(C) 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. Under the GAAP basis
presentation 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. In accordance with the new GAAP adopted effective
January 1, 2010, the Company's securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt is consolidated on its balance sheet.
(D) Reflects the new GAAP adopted effective January 1, 2010, which resulted
in all securitization transactions being accounted for as secured borrowings
by the Company. This adoption resulted in the consolidation of the Lending
Trust, reflecting $29.0 billion of additional cardmember loans along with a
$2.5 billion allowance for loan loss reserve on the Company's balance sheets.
(E) See Appendix III for calculations of net interest yield on cardmember
loans and the ratio of net interest income divided by average loans. The
Company believes net interest yield on cardmember loans (on both a GAAP and
non-GAAP basis) 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.
(G) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's historical non-GAAP, or "Managed" basis
presentation. For periods ending after January 1, 2010, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's entire portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt determined in accordance with GAAP and is identical to the
numbers provided in the GAAP basis portfolio above for such period. See page
20 for discussion of total portfolio information.

TOTAL PORTFOLIO INFORMATION
In accordance with the new GAAP adopted effective January 1, 2010, the
Company's securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and related debt is
consolidated on its balance sheet. Going forward, the Company will present
certain financial and statistical information relating to the performance of
its business (or particular segments of its business, e.g., U.S. Card
Services) based on its "total portfolio" of cardmember loans and related debt
as follows:
- - For periods ending after January 1, 2010, total portfolio information is
based on the Company's entire portfolio of cardmember loans and related
debt determined in accordance with GAAP; and
- - For periods ending on or prior to December 31, 2009, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's historical non-GAAP, or "managed"
basis presentation.
HISTORICAL PRESENTATION OF GAAP BASIS (PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO AS "OWNED") VS.
TOTAL PORTFOLIO BASIS (PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO AS "MANAGED")
For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the Company's cardmember
loan and related debt performance information on a GAAP basis were referred
to as the "owned" basis presentation. For such periods, the Company also
provided such information on a non-GAAP "managed" basis, which is now
referred to as total portfolio basis. The total portfolio basis presentation
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 cardmember loans and related debt in the Company's total
portfolio performance information.
Under the GAAP basis presentation 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 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 total portfolio basis presentation, 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 total
portfolio 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 total
portfolio 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 following table sets forth total portfolio financial information for the

presentation 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. In accordance with the new GAAP adopted effective

of the Company's cardmember loans portfolio.

(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
excluded from net write-offs, the net loss ratio for International Card
Services would have been 0.17%.
(D) Beginning with the first quarter of 2010, the Company has revised the net

(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 more accurately reflect funding and capital characteristics
of its segments. The change to interest allocation impacted the consolidated
net interest yield on cardmember loans on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
Accordingly, the net interest yields for periods prior to the first quarter of
2010 have been restated for this change on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
(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. Under the GAAP basis
presentation 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. In accordance with the new GAAP adopted effective
January 1, 2010, the Company's securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt is consolidated on its balance sheet.
(C) Represents net interest income allocated to the Company's cardmember loans
portfolio on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as applicable, excluding the impact of
card fees on loans and balance transfer fees attributable to the Company's
cardmember loans on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as applicable.
(D) Represents average cardmember loans on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as
applicable, excluding the impact of deferred card fees, net of deferred direct
acquisition costs of cardmember loans on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as
applicable.
(E) Represents the net spread earned on cardmember loans. Net interest yield
on cardmember loans (both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis) 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
(both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis) includes interest that is deemed
uncollectible. For the GAAP and non-GAAP presentation, 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.
(F) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's historical non-GAAP, or "Managed" basis
presentation. For periods ending after January 1, 2010, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's entire portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt determined in accordance with GAAP and is identical to the
numbers provided in the GAAP basis portfolio above for such period. See page
20 for discussion of total portfolio information.
(G) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the total portfolio
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
total portfolio presentation on page 23.

(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 more accurately reflect funding and capital characteristics
of its segments. The change to interest allocation impacted the segment net
interest yield on cardmember loans on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
Accordingly, the net interest yields for periods prior to the first quarter of
2010 have been restated for this change on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis.
(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. Under the GAAP basis
presentation 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. In accordance with the new GAAP adopted effective
January 1, 2010, the Company's securitized portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt is consolidated on its balance sheet.
(C) Represents net interest income allocated to the Company's cardmember loans
portfolio on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as applicable, excluding the impact of
card fees on loans and balance transfer fees attributable to the Company's
cardmember loans on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as applicable.
(D) Represents average cardmember loans on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as
applicable, excluding the impact of deferred card fees, net of deferred direct
acquisition costs of cardmember loans on a GAAP or non-GAAP basis, as
applicable.
(E) Represents the net spread earned on cardmember loans. Net interest yield
on cardmember loans (both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis) 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
(both on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis) includes interest that is deemed
uncollectible. For the GAAP and non-GAAP presentation, 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.
(F) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's historical non-GAAP, or "Managed" basis
presentation. For periods ending after January 1, 2010, total portfolio
information is based on the Company's entire portfolio of cardmember loans and
related debt determined in accordance with GAAP and is identical to the
numbers provided in the GAAP basis portfolio above for such period. See page
20 for discussion of total portfolio information.
(G) For periods ended on or prior to December 31, 2009, the total portfolio
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
total portfolio presentation on page 23.
