<P STYLE="font: 11pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 10pt">I am Executive Vice President and General Counsel
of American Express Company (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), a New York corporation, and I have represented the Company in connection
with the offering by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-185242) of $1,000,000,000 aggregate
principal amount of 1.550% Notes due May 22, 2018 (the &ldquo;Fixed Rate Notes&rdquo;) and $850,000,000 aggregate principal amount

1, 2007 between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the &ldquo;Trustee&rdquo;).</P>

examined the originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such corporate records and documents
relating to the Company and have made such other inquiries of law and fact as we have deemed necessary or relevant as the basis
of my opinion hereinafter expressed. In such examination, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals and the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, I have assumed the due authorization,
execution, delivery and, where appropriate, authentication of the documents by all parties thereto other than the Company.</P>
