Re: Centurion® Card
01/20/2011
Dear Jeffrey E Epstein,
We want to help you understand how your charge card works. This includes changes we're required to make
because of new federal regulations that impact late payment fees, returned payment fees, and Penalty APRs.
These changes are summarized in the table below.
We're also pleased to let you know we've rewritten your Cardmember Agreement so it's simpler and easier to use
and understand. We've enclosed a copy of your new Cardmember Agreement, which includes information on:
• rates and fees for your account
• the minimum payment due and how payments are applied
• when interest charges apply, and when they don't
• other account terms
You can learn more about how to manage your card account and protect your credit with simple tips, advice, and
explanations by visiting americanexpress.com/consumerresources.
Important Changes to Your Account Terms
The following is a summary of changes to your account terms, effective August 22, 2010. More detailed
information about these account terms appears on page 2 of the Cardmember Agreement.
Revised Terms, as of August 22, 2010
Late Payment Fee Up to $35: however, if you do not pay for two billing periods in a row,
your fee will be $35 or 2.99% of the past due amount, whichever is
greater.
Returned Payment Fee Up to $35
Penalty APR and When 27.24%
It Applies This APR will vary with the market based on the Prime Rate.
This APR will apply to your account if you:
1) make one or more late payments; or
2) make a payment that is returned.
How Long Will the Penalty APR Apply? If the Penalty APR is
applied, it will apply for at least 6 months. We will review your
Account every 6 months after the penalty APR is applied. The Penalty
APR will continue to apply until you have made timely payments with
no returned payments during the 6 months being reviewed.
IMPORTANT: See the reverse side of this letter for information about the duration of the Penalty APR.
Thank you for your Cardmembership. We look forward to continuing to serve you.
Sincerely,
American Express

How Rates and Fees Work
Rates for Pay Over Time balances See About Pay Over Time features In Pan 2 of this Agreement
Calculating The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for variable rates is determined by adding an amount (margin)
APRs and DPRs to the Prime Rate (see Determining the Prime Rate in Pad 2). The Daily Periodic Rate (DPR) is
1/365th of the APR, rounded to one ten-thousandth of a percentage point.

existing balances can apply the penalty APR to those balances it does not already apply to. After you pay on time for
6 billing periods in a row, the penalty APR will no longer apply to those balances (but it may still
apply to other balances as described above).
Fees
Initiation This fee is on the Rates and Fees Table on page 1 of Pad 1. This fee is a finance charge.
Annual Membership This fee is on the Rates and Fees Table on page 1 of Pad 1. We will charge $1,500 for each
additional Centurion Card, $175 for up to 3 additional Platinum Cards, $175 for each additional
Platinum Card after the first 3, $45 for up to 5 additional Gold Cards, and $45 for each additional
Gold Card thereafter.
Late Payment Up to $35 or 2.99% of the amount past due. If you do not pay the Amount Due on a billing
statement before the 20th day after the next Closing Date, the fee is $25. If this happens again
within the next 6 billing periods, the fee is $35 instead. In both cases, if you do not pay the amount
past due by the following Closing Date, we will charge, in that same billing period, the greater of
$35 or 2.99% of the amount past due. For each subsequent billing period that an amount past due
remains unpaid, the fee is the greater of $35 or 2.99% of any amount past due. However, the late
fee will not exceed the Minimum Payment Due. Paying late may also result in a Penalty APR. See
Penalty APR for new transactions and Penalty APR for existing balances above.
Returned Payment Up to $35. If your payment is returned unpaid the first time we present it to your bank, the fee is
$25. If this happens again within the next 6 billing periods, the fee is $35. However, the returned
payment fee will not exceed the Minimum Payment Due on the last Payment Due Date before the
payment is returned. A returned payment may also result in a Penalty APR. See Penalty APR for
new transactions above.
Returned Check $38 if you use your card to cash a check at one of our approved locations and the check is returned
unpaid. We will also charge you the unpaid amount.
Statement Copy $5 for each statement you request, except for the 3 most recent billing periods.
Account Re-opening $25 if your Account is cancelled, you ask us to re-open it, and we do so.
Foreign Transaction 2.7% of the convened U.S. dollar amount. This fee is a finance charge. See Converting charges
made in a foreign currency in Pad 2.

Then we round to the nearest dollar. After that, we
add any Pay Over Time amount past due. The highest of the three amounts is $60.00.

Adjusting your Pay Over If you regularly pay more than the Minimum Payment Due described above, we may adjust the Pay Over

to time. But if you then do not regularly pay more than the Minimum Payment Due described above. we will
