The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m.,

We hereby offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal (which
together constitute the "exchange offers"), to exchange (i) up to $1,274,725,000 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2.650% Senior
Notes due December 2, 2022 (CUSIP Nos. 025816 BC2 and U02581 AG8) (the "original 2022 notes") for a like principal amount of our 2.650%
Senior Notes due December 2, 2022 that have been registered under the Securities Act (CUSIP No. 025816 BD0) (the "exchange 2022 notes") and
(ii) up to $1,052,459,000 aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 4.050% Senior Notes due December 3, 2042 (CUSIP Nos. 025816 BE8
and U02581 AH6) (the "original 2042 notes" and, together with the original 2022 notes, the "original notes") for a like principal amount of our
4.050% Senior Notes due December 3, 2042 that have been registered under the Securities Act (CUSIP No. 025816 BF5) (the "exchange 2042
notes" and, together with the exchange 2022 notes, the "exchange notes"). When we use the term "notes" in this prospectus, the term includes the
original notes and the exchange notes unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. The original 2022 notes and exchange 2022
notes are together referred to as the "2022 notes," and the original 2042 notes and exchange 2042 notes are together referred to as the "2042 notes."
The terms of the exchange offers are summarized below and are more fully described in this prospectus.
The terms of each series of exchange notes are identical to the terms of the corresponding series of original notes, except that the transfer
restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provisions applicable to the original notes do not apply to the exchange notes.
We will accept for exchange any and all original notes of each series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on February 26, 2013, unless extended (the "expiration date").
You may withdraw tenders of original notes of each series at any time prior to the expiration of the relevant exchange offer.
We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offers. The original notes surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired
and cancelled and will not be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any increase in our outstanding indebtedness.
The exchange of original notes of each series for the corresponding series of exchange notes should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.
No public market currently exists for either series of original notes. We do not intend to list either series of exchange notes on any securities
exchange and, therefore, no active public market is anticipated.
Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers must acknowledge that it will deliver a
prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a
prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it
may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in
exchange for original notes where such original notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading
activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 180 days after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for
use in connection with any such resale. See "Plan of Distribution."
See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 9 to read about important factors you should consider before tendering your original notes.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities
or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus, including the documents incorporated by reference herein, contains or will contain forward-looking statements,
which are subject to risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements, which address the Company's expected business and
financial performance, among other matters, contain words such as "believe," "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "optimistic," "intend,"
"plan," "aim," "will," "may," "should," "could," "would," "likely," and similar expressions. Readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company undertakes no
obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to,
the following:
· whether or not the Company will ultimately consummate the exchange offers, which will depend in part on the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in this prospectus;

· uncertainty relating to the actual growth of operating expenses, which will depend in part on the Company's ability to balance
the control and management of expenses and the maintenance of competitive service levels to its businesses and customers,
unanticipated increases in significant categories of operating expenses, such as consulting or professional fees, compliance or
regulatory costs and technology costs, higher than expected employee levels due to lower than expected attrition rates or
employee needs not currently anticipated, the Company's decision to increase or decrease discretionary operating expenses
depending on overall business performance, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on costs and results, and
the level of acquisition activity and related expenses;

· uncertainty in the growth of operating expenses relative to the growth of revenues and the possibility that the ratio of total
expenses to revenues will not migrate back towards historical levels over time, which will depend on (i) factors affecting revenue,
such as, among other things, the growth of consumer and business spending on American Express cards, higher travel
commissions and fees, the growth of and/or higher yields on the loan portfolio and the development of new revenue
opportunities and (ii) the success of the Company in containing operating expenses, which will be impacted by, among other
things, the factors identified in the preceding bullet, and in containing other expenses including the Company's ability to control
and manage marketing and promotion expenses as described below as well as expenses related to increased redemptions or other
growth in rewards and cardmember services expenses. Further, in any period, the ability to grow revenue faster than operating
expenses and the ratio of total expenses to revenues may be impacted by rapid decreases in revenues that cannot be matched by
decreases in operating expenses;

· changes in global economic and business conditions, including consumer and business spending, the availability and cost of
credit, unemployment and political conditions, all of which may significantly affect spending on American Express cards,
delinquency rates, loan balances and other aspects of the Company's business and results of operations;

· changes in capital and credit market conditions, including sovereign creditworthiness, which may significantly affect the
Company's ability to meet its liquidity needs, access to capital and cost of capital, including changes in interest rates; changes in
market conditions affecting the valuation of the Company's assets; or any reduction in the Company's credit ratings or those of
its subsidiaries, which could materially increase the cost and other terms of the Company's funding, restrict its access to the
capital markets or result in contingent payments under contracts;

· litigation, such as class actions or proceedings brought by governmental and regulatory agencies (including the lawsuit filed
against the Company by the U.S. Department of Justice and certain state attorneys general), that could result in (i) the
imposition of behavioral remedies against the Company or the Company voluntarily making certain changes to its business
practices, the effects of which in either case could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial performance; (ii)
the imposition of substantial monetary damages and
ii

penalties, disgorgement and restitution; and/or (iii) damage to the Company's global reputation and brand;

· legal and regulatory developments wherever the Company does business, including legislative and regulatory reforms in the
United States, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act's stricter regulation of large,
interconnected financial institutions; changes in requirements relating to securitization and the establishment of the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, which could make fundamental changes to many of the Company's business practices or materially
affect its capital requirements, results of operations, or ability to pay dividends or repurchase its stock; actions and potential
future actions by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and credit rating agencies applicable to securitization trusts, which
could impact the Company's asset-backed securitization program; or potential changes in the federal tax system that could
substantially alter, among other things, the taxation of the Company's international businesses, the allowance of deductions for
significant expenses, or the incidence of consumption taxes on the Company's transactions, products and services;

· the ability of the Company to generate its on-average and over-time growth targets for revenues net of interest expense, earnings
per share and return on average equity, which will depend on the factors such as the Company's success in implementing its
strategies and initiatives, meeting its targets for operating expenses and on factors outside management's control including
changes in the economic and business environment, the effectiveness of marketing and loyalty programs, and the willingness of
cardmembers to sustain spending;

· the Company's net interest yield on U.S. cardmember loans not remaining at historical levels, which will be influenced by,
among other things, the effects of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (including the
regulations requiring the Company to periodically reevaluate annual percentage rate increases), interest rates, changes in
consumer behavior that affect loan balances, such as paydown rates, the credit quality of the Company's portfolio and the
Company's cardmember acquisition strategy, product mix, cost of funds, credit actions, including line size and other adjustments
to credit availability, and potential pricing changes;

· changes in the substantial and increasing worldwide competition in the payments industry, including competitive pressure that
may impact the prices the Company charges merchants that accept the Company's cards and the success of marketing,
promotion or rewards programs;

· changes in technology or in the Company's ability to protect its intellectual property (such as copyrights, trademarks, patents
and controls on access and distribution), and invest in and compete at the leading edge of technological developments across the
Company's businesses, including technology and intellectual property of third parties on whom the Company relies, all of which
could materially affect the Company's results of operations;

· data breaches and fraudulent activity, which could damage the Company's brand, increase the Company's costs or have
regulatory implications, and changes in regulation affecting privacy and data security under federal, state and foreign law, which
could result in higher compliance and technology costs to the Company or the Company's vendors;

· changes in the Company's ability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the management and operation of the Company's
business, including any changes that may result from increasing regulatory supervision of compensation practices;

· changes in the financial condition and creditworthiness of the Company's business partners, such as bankruptcies, restructurings
or consolidations, involving merchants that represent a significant portion of the Company's business, such as the airline
industry, or the Company's partners in Global Network Services or financial institutions that the Company relies on for routine
funding and liquidity, which could materially affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations;
iii

· the actual amount to be spent by the Company on investments in the business, including on marketing, promotion, rewards and
cardmember services and certain operating expenses, which will be based in part on management's assessment of competitive
opportunities and the Company's performance and the ability to control and manage operating, infrastructure, advertising,
promotion and rewards expenses as business expands or changes, including the changing behavior of cardmembers;

· the effectiveness of the Company's risk management policies and procedures, including credit risk relating to consumer debt,
liquidity risk in meeting business requirements and operational risk;

· the Company's lending write-off rates not remaining below the average historical levels of the last ten years, which will depend
in part on changes in the level of the Company's loan balances, delinquency rates of cardmembers, unemployment rates, the
volume of bankruptcies and recoveries of previously written-off loans;

· the ability of the Company to maintain and expand its presence in the digital payments space, including as an online payments
provider, which will depend on the Company's success in evolving its business models and processes for the digital
environment, building partnerships and executing programs with companies, and utilizing digital capabilities that can be
leveraged for future growth;

· changes affecting the Company's ability to accept or maintain deposits due to market demand or regulatory constraints, such as
changes in interest rates and regulatory restrictions on the Company's ability to obtain deposit funding or offer competitive
interest rates, which could affect the Company's liquidity position and the Company's ability to fund the Company's business;

· changes affecting the Company's ability or desire to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common shares in the first quarter of 2013,
such as acquisitions, results of operations and capital needs, among other factors, which will significantly impact the potential
decrease in the Company's capital ratios;

· the failure of the U.S. Congress to renew legislation regarding the active financing exception to Subpart F of the Internal
Revenue Code, which could increase the Company's effective tax rate and have an adverse impact on net income; and

· factors beyond the Company's control such as fire, power loss, disruptions in telecommunications, severe weather conditions,
natural disasters, terrorism, "hackers" or fraud, which could affect travel-related spending or disrupt the Company's global
network systems and ability to process transactions.
The foregoing review of important factors should not be construed as exclusive and should be read in conjunction with the other
cautionary statements and risk factors that are included in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, including in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March

completion of the relevant exchange offer. Any original notes not tendered
will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest according to their
terms.
