Redeem MEMBERSHIP REWARDS points to support the September 11th disaster relief
effort.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now you can help those affected by the September 11th tragedies
by redeeming MEMBERSHIP REWARDS points to assist organizations like the
American Red Cross, The Salvation Army and The September 11th Fund.

For every 1,000 MEMBERSHIP REWARDS points you redeem with one of our
charity partners, a $10 contribution will be made -- $5 from points you redeem
and an additional $5 matched by American Express. You can redeem points with one
of our charity partners at any time you wish.  However, now through December 31st, 2001
American Express has committed to a total match donation of up to $200,000 to
further support relief efforts.
