       the preceding Due Period.....                                $0.00

     *As a result of an  update to the  Servicer's  computer  software  for
tracking the Receivables in the American Express Master Trust,  information
concerning  19% of the  Receivables in the Trust for the last three days of
the due period  covered by this  Certificate  is not  included in the Trust
activity reported on in this Certificate. This activity will be included in
the following due period and reported on in next month's Monthly Servicer's
Certificate.  The Servicer  has no reason to believe  that the  performance
over the last  three  days of the due  period  for  these  Receivables  was
materially  inconsistent  with  the  performance  of  the  balance  of  the
Receivables in the Trust over such time period.
