Hurricane Katrina Relief

At American Express, we are committed to supporting relief efforts in the communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina. We recently announced a donation of a minimum of $1 million to the American Red Cross to assist in their support of the affected areas through direct support from the American Express Foundation and employee contribution matching.

Local and national aid organizations are mobilizing to assist the many people who are coping with the terrible aftermath of the disaster, and we want to maximize the support given to these organizations. Therefore, we have made the following decisions to further support relief efforts through October 31, 2005:
  • We will waive all fees associated with accepting American Express charges for the Katrina hurricane relief organizations listed below.


  • We will contribute $1 for every donation made to the organizations listed below with an American Express Card


  • If you are an American Express® Cardmember enrolled in the Membership Rewards® program, and you have Membership Rewards points available, you can redeem them to make a donation to the charities listed below. *Through October 31, 2005, for every 1,000 points you redeem for donations using the links below, American Express will donate an additional $5, for a total of $10 for each 1,000 points redeemed, to the charity of your choice.**
