Cardmember Spending
Billed business, or the amount spent on American Express cards, declined in 2009 as consumers and businesses cut back on spending in the difficult economy.
For the year 2009, spending on American Express cards fell $63.5 billion or 9.29% to $619.8 billion from $683.3 billion in year 2008 on broad-based declines
among consumers, small businesses and corporations.
Billed business was down 10.06% or $47.4 billion in the U.S. to $423.7 billion from $471.1 billion in year 2008; and down 7.59% or $16.1 billion internationally
to $196.1 billion from $212.2 billion in year 2008.
While the dollar volume of spending declined, the total number of transactions was essentially unchanged. That means American Express cardmembers were loyal to the
brand, taking the cards out of their wallets just as often as before. They were simply spending less overall as they became more careful about managing their money.
For the first six months of 2009, billed business was down 16% year-over-year. The decline eased to 11% in the third quarter. By the fourth quarter, there is a
return to growth, as billed business rose 8%.
For the first quarter 2010, worldwide billed business increased by 16%, reflecting card spending improvement across all segments and the benefit of an easier
year-over-year comparison to 1Q’09. Billed business was up 11% in the U.S. and 27% internationally.
