We have examined management's assertion that the control policies and procedures
maintained by American Express Travel Related Services Company,  Inc. ("TRS"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of American Express Company ("American  Express"),  over
the  functions  performed as Servicer of the  American  Express  Credit  Account
Master Trust (the  "Trust") are  effective as of December 31, 2002, in providing
reasonable  assurance  that  Trust  assets  are  safeguarded  against  loss from
unauthorized use or disposition and that transactions are executed in accordance
with  management's  authorization  in  conformity  with the Master  Pooling  and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended by the First Amendment
to the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement,  dated  as of  March  30,  2001,  as

Transferors,   and  The  Bank  of  New  York  as   Trustee   on  behalf  of  the
Certificateholders  of the  Trust,  and are  recorded  properly  to  permit  the
preparation of the required financial reports. This assertion is included in the
accompanying  report of  management  titled,  "Report Of  Management On American
Express  Travel  Related  Services'  Control  Policies and  Procedures  over the
Functions  Performed as Servicer of the American  Express  Credit Account Master
Trust" (the "Report").  Management is responsible  for the control  policies and
procedures  over  its  functions   performed  as  Servicer  of  the  Trust.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control
based on our examination.


<PAGE>


Our  examination  was  made in  accordance  with  standards  established  by the
American Institute of Certified Public  Accountants,  and accordingly,  included
obtaining an  understanding of the internal control policies and procedures over
the functions performed by TRS as Servicer of the Trust,  testing and evaluating
the design and operating  effectiveness  of the control policies and procedures,
and such other procedures as we considered  necessary in the  circumstances.  We
believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Because of inherent  limitations  in any internal  control policy and procedure,
misstatements  due to  errors or fraud  may  occur  and not be  detected.  Also,
projections  of any evaluation of the control  policies and procedures  over the
functions  performed  by TRS as  Servicer  of the  Trust to future  periods  are
subject to the risk that the  policies  and  procedures  may  become  inadequate
because of  changes in  conditions,  or that the degree of  compliance  with the
policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion,  management's assertion that TRS control policies and procedures
over the functions performed as Servicer of the Trust that are effective,  as of
December  31,  2002,  in providing  reasonable  assurance  that Trust assets are
safeguarded  against  loss  from  unauthorized  use  or  disposition,  and  that
transactions  are executed in  accordance  with  management's  authorization  in
conformity with the Agreements  between TRS as Servicer,  Centurion and RFCII as
Transferors,   and  The  Bank  of  New  York  as   Trustee   on  behalf  of  the
Certificateholders  of the  Trust,  and are  recorded  properly  to  permit  the
preparation  of the  required  financial  reports,  is  fairly  stated,  in  all
material  respects,  based upon the following criteria specified in management's
report:

o      Funds  collected are  appropriately  allocated to the Trust in accordance
       with the Agreement.

o      The addition of Accounts to the Trust are  authorized in accordance  with
       the Agreement.

o      The removal of Accounts from the Trust are authorized in accordance  with
       the Agreement.

o      Trust assets  amortizing  out of the Trust are  calculated  in accordance
       with the Agreement.

o      Daily  records as  specified  in the  Agreement  are  maintained  and are
       available for inspection by the Trustee upon request.

o      Monthly  Servicer's  Certificates  are  prepared and contain the required
       information in accordance with the Agreement.

o      Monthly Servicer's  Certificates  generated pursuant to the Agreement are
       materially  correct and are derived  from and  reconcile  to the computer
       reports which are the source of such amounts contained in the reports.


<PAGE>


o      On an annual  basis,  the Servicer  will deliver to the Trustee an Annual
       Servicer's Certificate.

o      The payments to the Trustee are made by the Servicer in  accordance  with
       the Agreement.

        Report Of Management On American Express Travel Related Services'
 Control Policies and Procedures over the Functions Performed as Servicer of the
                  American Express Credit Account Master Trust


March 28, 2003


American  Express Travel Related  Services  Company,  Inc.  ("TRS"),  which is a
wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  American  Express  Company,  is  responsible  for
establishing and maintaining  effective control policies and procedures over the
functions  performed as Servicer of the American  Express  Credit Account Master
Trust (the  "Trust").  These  control  policies and  procedures  are designed to
provide  reasonable  assurance to TRS'  management  and board of directors  that
Trust assets are safeguarded  against loss from  unauthorized use or disposition
and that  transactions  are executed in conformity  with the Master  Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of May 16, 1996, as amended by the First Amendment
to the  Pooling  and  Servicing  Agreement,  dated  as of  March  30,  2001,  as
supplemented by the  Series'1998-1,  1999-1,  1999-2,  1999-3,  1999-5,  2000-1,
2000-2,  2000-3, 2000-4, 2000-5, 2001-1, 2001-2, 2001-3, 2001-4, 2001-5, 2001-6,
2001-7,  2002-1, 2002-2, 2002-3, 2002-4, 2002-5 and 2002-6 Supplements (together
the "Agreement"),  among TRS as Servicer, American Express Receivables Financing
Corporation II ("RFCII") and American  Express  Centurion Bank  ("Centurion") as
Transferors,   and  The  Bank  of  New  York  as   Trustee   on  behalf  of  the
Certificateholders  of the  Trust,  and are  recorded  properly  to  permit  the
preparation of the required financial reports.

Because of inherent  limitations  in any control,  no matter how well  designed,
misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected, including the
possibility of the  circumvention or overriding of controls.  Accordingly,  even
effective  controls can provide only  reasonable  assurance  with respect to the
achievement  of any  objectives  of  controls.  Further,  because  of changes in
conditions, the effectiveness of controls may vary over time.

TRS has identified the following criteria for effective controls:

o    Funds collected are appropriately allocated to the Trust in accordance with
     the Agreement.

o    The addition of Accounts to the Trust are authorized in accordance with the
     Agreement.

<PAGE>

o    The removal of Accounts from the Trust are  authorized  in accordance  with
     the Agreement.

o    Trust assets  amortizing out of the Trust are calculated in accordance with
     the Agreement.

o    Daily  records  as  specified  in the  Agreement  are  maintained  and  are
     available for inspection by the Trustee upon request.

o    Monthly  Servicer's  Certificates  are  prepared  and contain the  required
     information in accordance with the Agreement.

o    Monthly  Servicer's  Certificates  generated  pursuant to the Agreement are
     materially  correct  and are derived  from and  reconcile  to the  computer
     reports which are the source of such amounts contained in the reports.

o    On an annual  basis,  the  Servicer  will  deliver to the Trustee an Annual
     Servicer's Certificate.

o    The payments to the Trustee are made by the Servicer in accordance with the
     Agreement.

TRS assessed its control policies and procedures over the functions performed as
Servicer of the Trust in relation to these criteria. Based upon this assessment,
TRS believes that, as of December 31, 2002, its control  policies and procedures
over the functions performed as Servicer of the Trust are effective in providing
reasonable  assurance  that  Trust  assets  are  safeguarded  against  loss from
unauthorized  use or disposition and the transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization in conformity with the Agreement between the TRS
as Servicer,  RFCII and  Centurion as  Transferors,  and The Bank of New York as
Trustee  on behalf of the  Certificateholders  of the  Trust,  and are  recorded
properly to permit the preparation of the required financial reports.
