<PAGE>
                             Amendment No. 2
                     to Receivable Purchase Agreement


     AMENDMENT NO. 2, dated as of August 7, 1997 (the "Effective
Date"), to the RECEIVABLE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of June 30,
1992 (as amended and otherwise supplemented prior to the Effective
Date, the "Receivable Purchase Agreement"), between AMERICAN
EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC., a corporation
organized and existing under the laws of the State of New York, as
the Seller of the Receivables (the "Seller"), and AMERICAN EXPRESS
RECEIVABLES FINANCING CORPORATION, a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, as the Purchaser
of the Receivables ("RFC").

     Each capitalized term that is used, but not defined, herein
shall have the meaning specified in the Receivable Purchase
Agreement.

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Servicer may from time to time, at the request of
RFC, and pursuant to the written instructions of RFC, adjust
downward the amount of Receivables in Adjusted Accounts (as such
term is defined below) without receiving any Collections therefor;

     WHEREAS, the Seller and RFC wish to amend the Receivable
Purchase Agreement (in the manner set forth below) so that the
Purchase Price payable by RFC to the Seller pursuant to the
Receivable Purchase Agreement shall not be subject to a Credit
Adjustment as a result of such adjustment downward of the amount of
any Receivables in Adjusted Accounts;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Receivable Purchase
Agreement, such amendment may be effected without the consent of
any of the Investor Certificateholders;

     NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 21(a) of the Receivable
Purchase Agreement, the Seller and RFC hereby agree as follows:
          
     1.   New Defined Terms.  Paragraph C (entitled "Definitions")
appearing on page 1 of the Receivable Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended by inserting the following text immediately after the first
and only sentence thereof:

In addition, whenever used herein, the following capitalized terms
shall have the meanings set forth below:

     (a)  "Adjusted Accounts Report" shall mean the report of RFC,
substantially in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto, to be dated
on or before the Determination Date with respect to the prior Due
Period, pursuant to which RFC shall report or cause to be reported
(i) the account numbers and Receivable balance of the Adjusted
Accounts on the date (the "Adjustment Date") the Adjusted Account
was adjusted to zero without receiving any Collections therefor
with respect to Cycle 9 for the second preceding Due Period and
Cycles 1 through 8 for the immediately preceding Due Period and
(ii) the Adjustment Date.

     (b)  "Adjusted Account" shall mean any Account the Receivables
of which have been adjusted to zero pursuant to Section 3.08 of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, but for reasons unrelated to
rebates, refunds, unauthorized charges, or billing errors to
obligors, or because such Receivable was created in respect of
merchandise which was refused or returned by an Obligor, in each
case identified by account number, Receivable balance and
Adjustment Date, and reflected in the books and records of the
Servicer.

     2.   Amendment of Section 5 of the Receivable Purchase
Agreement.  As of the Effective Date, Section 5 of the Receivable
Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety
to read as follows:

Section 5.  Adjustments to Purchase Price.  Subject to the
exception described in the next sentence, (a) the Purchase Price
shall be adjusted (a "Credit Adjustment") with respect to any
Receivable adjusted as provided in subsection 3.08(a) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and (b) to the extent that RFC is
required thereunder to pay any amount to the Servicer for deposit
into the Collection Account, the Seller shall pay to RFC the amount
required to be paid to the Servicer thereunder.  Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, (a) a Credit Adjustment shall not be made
with respect to the adjustment to zero of any Receivables in a
Adjusted Account pursuant to subsection 3.08(a) of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and (b) notwithstanding any adjustment to zero
described in clause (a) of this sentence, the Purchase Price shall
remain unaffected and the Seller shall not be obligated, under this
Section 5 or any other provision of this Agreement or the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, to pay or otherwise credit any amount to
RFC, the Servicer or the Trust in connection with such adjustment. 
RFC shall provide, or cause to be provided to the Trustee, on or
before each Determination Date, an Adjusted Accounts Report for the
immediately preceding Due Period.

     3.   New Exhibit E.  As of the Effective Date, Exhibit E
attached hereto shall be added to the exhibit section of, and shall
be deemed to constitute Exhibit E to, the Receivable Purchase
Agreement.

     4.   Conditions Precedent.  As contemplated by Section 21(a)
of the Receivable Purchase Agreement, the effectiveness of this
Amendment as of the Effective Date shall be subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

     (a)  the Servicer shall have provided to the Trustee an
Officer's Certificate to the effect that the amendments to the
Receivable Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby will not materially and adversely affect any of the Investor
Certificateholders;

     (b)  each Rating Agency rating any of the Investor
Certificates shall have confirmed that the execution and delivery
of this Amendment by the parties hereto and the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in the reduction or withdrawal
of its rating of any of the Investor Certificates; and

     (c)  Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, counsel to the Seller
and RFC, shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion (which
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) to the effect that the
execution and delivery of this Amendment by the parties hereto will
not cause the Trust to be characterized for U.S. federal income tax
purposes as an association taxable as a corporation or adversely
affect the treatment of any of the Investor Certificates as debt
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

     5.   No Further Amendments.  Except as expressly amended
hereby, the Receivable Purchase Agreement shall remain unmodified
and in full force and effect.

     6.   GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AMENDMENT AND THE RECEIVABLE
PURCHASE AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED HEREBY, SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT-OF-LAWS PROVISIONS; AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL
BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

     7.   Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in
counterparts, all of which, together, shall constitute one and the
same agreement.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused their names
to be signed hereto by their respective, duly authorized officers.
