Substitute Information provided in accordance with General Instruction J to Form 10-K:

Item 1112(b) of Regulation AB: Significant obligors of pool assets (Financial information).

The pool assets held by the American Express Issuance Trust II (the “Trust”) do not include any significant obligors.

Item 1114(b)(2) of Regulation AB: Credit enhancement and other support, except for certain derivatives instruments (Financial information).

Based on the standards set forth in Item 1114(b) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.

Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB: Certain derivatives instruments (Financial information).

Based on the standards set forth in Item 1115(b) of Regulation AB, no information is required in response to this Item.

Item 1117 of Regulation AB: Legal proceedings.

In the ordinary course of business, American Express Company and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are subject to various claims, investigations, examinations, pending and potential legal actions, and other matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, “legal proceedings”). The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to each of these legal proceedings and intends to defend them vigorously. Some of these proceedings are at preliminary stages and seek an indeterminate amount of damages.

In 2010, the DOJ, along with Attorneys General from Arizona, Connecticut, Hawaii (Hawaii has since withdrawn its claim), Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Vermont filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against the Company, MasterCard International Incorporated and Visa, Inc., alleging a violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act (the “DOJ case”). The complaint included allegations that provisions in the Company’s merchant agreements prohibiting merchants from steering a customer to use another network’s card or another type of general-purpose card (“anti-steering” and “non-discrimination” contractual provisions) violate the antitrust laws. The complaint sought a judgment permanently enjoining the Company from enforcing its non-discrimination contractual provisions. The complaint did not seek monetary damages.

2

Following a non-jury trial in the DOJ case, the trial court found that the challenged provisions were anticompetitive and on April 30, 2015, the court issued a final judgment entering a permanent injunction. Following the Company’s appeal of this judgment, on December 18, 2015, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit stayed the trial court’s judgment as well as related matters before the trial court pending the issuance of its appellate decision.

In addition to the DOJ case, individual merchant cases and a putative class action, collectively captioned In re: American Express Anti-Steering Rules Antitrust Litigation (II), are pending in the Eastern District of New York against the Company alleging that its anti-steering provisions in merchant card acceptance agreements violate U.S. antitrust laws. The individual merchant cases seek damages in unspecified amounts and injunctive relief. These matters, including a trial previously scheduled in the individual merchant cases, have been stayed pending resolution of the appeal in the DOJ case.

Individual merchants have initiated arbitration proceedings raising similar claims concerning the anti-steering provisions in the Company’s card acceptance agreements and seeking damages. The Company is vigorously defending against those claims.

In July 2004, the Company was named as a defendant in another putative class action filed in the Southern District of New York and subsequently transferred to the Eastern District of New York, captioned The Marcus Corporation v. American Express Company, et al., in which the plaintiffs allege an unlawful antitrust tying arrangement between certain of the Company’s charge cards and credit cards in violation of various state and federal laws. The plaintiffs in this action seek injunctive relief and an unspecified amount of damages. In December 2013, the Company announced a proposed settlement of the Marcus case and the putative class action challenging its anti-steering provisions. The settlement, which provides for certain injunctive relief for the proposed classes, received preliminary approval in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On August 4, 2015, the court denied final approval of the settlement; further proceedings are anticipated after resolution of the appeal in the DOJ case.

On November 6, 2015, a putative representative action, captioned People of the State of California, ex. rel. Dennis Herrera v. American Express Co. et al., was filed in California state court on behalf of the People of California by the San Francisco City Attorney for the benefit of California merchants that accept American Express cards. The complaint alleges that certain terms in the Company’s merchant agreements violate California law and seeks relief in the form of: (1) a declaratory judgment; (2) an injunction preventing the Company from enforcing those terms; (3) statutory civil penalties in an amount to be determined by the court; (4) restitution for alleged overcharges; and (5) attorney’s fees and cost of suit. This action has been stayed pending resolution of the appeal in the DOJ case.

In October 2009, a putative class action, captioned Lopez, et al. v. American Express Bank, FSB and American Express Centurion Bank, was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The amended complaint sought to certify a class of California American Express Card Members whose interest rates were changed from fixed to variable in or around August 2009 or otherwise increased. On August 20, 2014, plaintiffs filed an amended nationwide complaint and an unopposed motion for preliminary approval of a settlement of the claims alleged in that complaint. The settlement provides for certain relief to class members, attorneys’ fees and costs of up to $6 million. The court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on February 3, 2016. The final approval hearing is scheduled for October 17, 2016.

On March 8, 2016, Plaintiffs B&R Supermarket, Inc., d/b/a Milam’s Market and Grove Liquors LLC, on behalf of themselves and others, filed a suit, captioned B&R Supermarket, Inc. d/b/a Milam’s Market, et al. v. Visa Inc., et al., for violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, California’s Cartwright Act, and unjust enrichment in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, against the Company, other credit and charge card networks, numerous issuing banks, and EMVCo, LLC. Plaintiffs allege that the defendants, through EMVCo, conspired to shift liability for fraudulent, faulty and otherwise rejected consumer credit card transactions from themselves to merchants after the implementation of EMV chip payment terminals. The Company intends to vigorously defend against these claims.

Item 1122 of Regulation AB: Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria.

Each of American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“TRS”) (for itself and on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiaries American Express Centurion Bank and American Express Bank, FSB), TransCentra, Inc. (formerly known as Regulus Group LLC) (“TransCentra”) (for itself and its wholly owned subsidiaries), and The Bank of New York Mellon (each, a “Servicing Participant”) has been identified by the registrant as a party participating in the servicing function with respect to the pool assets held by the American Express Issuance Trust II for the period covered by this Form 10-K. Each of the Servicing Participants has completed a report on an assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant (each, a “Report on Assessment”) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, which Reports on Assessment are attached as exhibits to this Form 10-K. In addition, each of the Servicing Participants has provided an attestation report (each, an “Attestation Report”) by a registered independent public accounting firm regarding its related Report on Assessment. Each Attestation Report is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.

Vendors

A Servicing Participant may engage one or more vendors, who are not considered servicers for purposes of Regulation AB, to perform specific and limited, or scripted activities that address all or a portion of one or more servicing criteria applicable to such Servicing Participant. In general in these cases, the Servicing Participant has instituted policies and procedures to monitor whether such vendors’ activities comply in all material respects with such servicing criteria, and may elect to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to such vendors’ activities in such Servicing Participant’s Report on Assessment.

Where the Servicing Participant has not instituted such policies and procedures, or where the Servicing Participant does not otherwise elect to take responsibility for assessing its vendors’ activities, the vendor is itself treated as a Servicing Participant and is required to provide its own Report on Assessment and related Attestation Report.

Exceptions

No Report on Assessment or related Attestation Report has identified any material instance of noncompliance with the servicing criteria identified in such Report on Assessment as applicable to the related Servicing Participant. In addition, no Report on Assessment or related Attestation Report has identified any material deficiency in such Servicing Participant’s policies and procedures to monitor vendor compliance.

Platform Level Reports

Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) require that each Servicing Participant complete a Report on Assessment at a “platform” level, meaning that the transactions covered by the Report on Assessment should include all asset-backed securities transactions involving such Servicing Participant that are backed by the same asset type. During 2014, TRS’ proprietary facilities conducted paper payment remittance processing services and performed billing dispute services. TransCentra also performed paper payment remittance processing services at three locations in the United States. As a remittance processor, TransCentra is responsible for, among other services, transmitting payment information to TRS, which TRS in turn uses to update its account obligor records. In its Report on Assessment attached as Exhibit 33.2 to this Form 10-K, TransCentra defines its platform to include (i) remittance processing services it provides to customers who are issuers or servicers of asset-backed securities transactions and (ii) who have requested confirmation of TransCentra’s compliance in connection with loan and/or receivables portfolios that include pool assets for asset backed securities transactions. In addition, eFunds Corporation (“eFunds”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., also performs billing dispute services at its Gurgaon and Mumbai, India sites. Within guidelines prescribed by TRS, eFunds is responsible for all aspects of billing disputes, from front end capture of information to the resolution of disputes between Card Members and merchants. The Bank of New York Mellon is Indenture Trustee of the Trust. In its Report on Assessment attached as Exhibit 33.3 to this Form 10-K, The Bank of New York Mellon defines its platform to include publicly issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 (and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006), that are subject to Regulation AB for which The Bank of New York Mellon provides trustee, securities administration, paying agent or custodial services, as defined and to the extent applicable in the transaction agreements, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities.

None of TRS or the Trust is an affiliate of TransCentra or The Bank of New York Mellon.

Item 1123 of Regulation AB: Servicer Compliance Statement.

Each of TRS, American Express Centurion Bank, American Express Bank, FSB and TransCentra has been identified by the registrant as a servicer or subservicer with respect to the pool assets held by the Trust for the period covered by this Form 10-K. Each of them has provided a Statement of Compliance for the period covered by this Form 10-K (a “Compliance Statement”), in each case signed by an authorized officer thereof. Each Compliance Statement is attached as an exhibit to this Form 10-K.

Report on Assessment of Compliance with Regulation AB Servicing Criteria

1. Pursuant to Subpart 229.1100-Asset Backed Securities, 17 C.F.R. §§229.1100-229.1123 (“Regulation AB”), TransCentra, Inc. for itself and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (individually and collectively “TransCentra”), is responsible for assessing its compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to the remittance processing services it provides to customers who are issuers or servicers of asset backed securities transactions and who have requested confirmation of TransCentra’s compliance in connection with loan and/or receivables portfolios that include pool assets for asset backed securities transactions (the “Platform”). Remittance processing is a service whereby check payments that are remitted by mail to a post office box are collected, processed through a highly automated data capture system, and prepared for deposit to a bank account held by the beneficiary of the payment.

2. The servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB were used in TransCentra’s assessment of compliance. TransCentra has concluded that the servicing criteria set forth in Items 1122(d)(2)(i) and 1122(d)(4)(iv) of Regulation AB are applicable to the servicing activities it performs with respect to the Platform (such criteria the “Applicable Servicing Criteria”). TransCentra has concluded that the remainder of the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB are inapplicable to the activities it performs with respect to the Platform because TransCentra does not participate in the servicing activities referenced by such servicing criteria.

3. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, TransCentra has complied in all material respects with the Applicable Servicing Criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB.

4. Porter Keadle Moore LLC, a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on TransCentra’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015. A copy of that attestation report is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

Exhibit 33.3

ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE WITH

APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA

The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (formerly BNYM (Delaware)) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. (formerly The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A.), (collectively, the “Company”) provide this platform-level assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Management has determined that the servicing criteria are applicable in regard to the servicing platform as of and for the period as follows:

Platform: Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006 that are subject to Regulation AB for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration, paying agent or custodial services, as defined and to the extent applicable in the transaction agreements, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities (the “Platform”).

Period: As of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 (the “Period”).

Applicable Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), to the extent required by the related transaction agreements as to any transaction, except as set forth in the column titled “Not Applicable To Platform” in Appendix 1 attached hereto.

With respect to servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi) management has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by the servicing criterion. Management has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and management has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criterion applicable to this vendor as permitted by the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation (“C&DI”) 200.06, Vendors Engaged by Servicers (C&DI 200.06) (formerly SEC Manual Telephone Interpretation 17.06). Management has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor. Management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply C&DI 200.06 for the vendor and related criterion.

With respect to the Platform as of and for the Period, the Company provides the following assessment of compliance in respect of the Applicable Servicing Criteria:

1. The Company is responsible for assessing its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

2. The Company has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria including the servicing criterion for which compliance is determined based on C&DI 200.06 as described above. In performing this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB.

3. With respect to Applicable Servicing Criteria 1122(d)(2)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(vii), there were no activities performed during the Period with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrences of events that would require the Company to perform such activities.

4. Based on such assessment, as of and for the Period, the Company has complied, in all material respects, with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report with respect to Management’s Assertion of Compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria as of and for the Period.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To: Management of American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (the “Company,” or “Asserting Party”), Servicer

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying “Certification Regarding Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria,” that American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. complied with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation AB, as of December 31, 2015 and for the year then ended (the “Reporting Period”), for all asset-backed securities transactions backed by credit and charge card receivables issued by the American Express Credit Account Master Trust and the American Express Issuance Trust II, for which transactions the Asserting Party acted as Servicer, that were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, where the related asset-backed securities were outstanding during the Reporting Period (the “Platform”), excluding criteria: (d)(1)(iii), (d)(1)(iv), (d)(2)(iii), (d)(2)(vi), (d)(3)(iii), (d)(4)(i), (d)(4)(x), (d)(4)(xi), (d)(4)(xii), (d)(4)(xiii) and (d)(4)(xv), which the Company has determined are not applicable to the servicing activities performed by it with respect to the Platform. As described in management’s assertion, for servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(vi), the Company has engaged eFunds Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fidelity National Information Services, Inc., to perform the activities required by this servicing criteria. The Company has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria 1122(d)(4)(vi) applicable to the vendor, as permitted by Interpretation 200.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance’s interpretations of the rules adopted under Regulation AB and the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (“Interpretation 200.06”). As permitted by Interpretation 200.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to the vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 200.06 for the vendor and related criteria as described in its assertion, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s determination of its eligibility to use Interpretation 200.06. Management’s assertion identifies the individual asset-backed transactions and securities defined by management as constituting the Platform. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing of selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing of selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the applicable servicing criteria. Our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures were not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 for the Platform is fairly stated, in all material respects.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors:

The Bank of New York Mellon

BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware

The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.:

We have examined management’s assertion, included in the accompanying Management’s Assertion of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, that The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly The Bank of New York), BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware (formerly BNYM (Delaware)) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.

With respect to applicable servicing criteria 1122(d)(2)(iii) and 1122(d)(4)(vii), the Company has determined that there were no activities performed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 with respect to the Platform, because there were no occurrences of events that would require the Company to perform such activities. Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance based on our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with the attestation standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the attestation standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria specified above and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Our examination included testing selected asset-backed transactions and securities that comprise the Platform, testing selected servicing activities related to the Platform, and determining whether the Company processed those selected transactions and performed those selected activities in compliance with the servicing criteria. Furthermore, our procedures were limited to the selected transactions and servicing activities performed by the Company during the period covered by this report. Our procedures are not designed to determine whether errors may have occurred either prior to or subsequent to our tests that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report for the selected transactions or any other transactions. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the servicing criteria.

As described in the Company’s Assertion of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, for servicing criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi), the Company has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by this servicing criterion. The Company has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and the Company has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criterion applicable to this vendor as permitted by the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation (“CD&I”) 200.06, Vendor’s Engaged by Servicers (CD&I 200.06) (formerly SEC Manual Telephone Interpretation 17.06). As permitted by CD&I 200.06, the Company has asserted that it has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criterion applicable to the vendor. The Company is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply CD&I 200.06 for the vendor and related criterion as described in its Assertion of Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria, and we performed no procedures with respect to the Company’s eligibility to apply CD&I 200.06.

In our opinion, management’s assertion that the Company complied with the aforementioned servicing criteria, including criterion 1122(d)(2)(vi) for which compliance is determined based on CD&I 200.06 as described above, as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 is fairly stated, in all material respects.
