Key figures

  • American Express all-cycle grouping in this extract: $4,940,512.

111 American Express-coded donors in 2012

In 2012, receipts tagged AMERICAN EXPRESS sum to $237,805 on 296 itemized lines from 111 harvested donors. About $803 per receipt is $237,805 divided by 296. About $2,142 per harvested donor is $237,805 divided by 111. Lines per donor average about 2.7. FEC even-year cycles run through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

296 lines from 111 donors is a mid-scale card-issuer employer cell with a four-figure mean per donor. A payments brand on Schedule A is still filer-entered employer text. It is not a GSA SmartPay award.

American Express as stored employer text

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping American Express and even-year election cycle 2012. $237,805 is the intersection. $4,940,512 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 296 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 111 (111 harvested donors). LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.
