<p>At present, the American Express gift card, which was first introduced in 2002, is available online and nationwide at thousands of locations, including supermarkets, drug stores, shopping centers and banks. The cards sold in Citibank financial centers will display both the American Express and Citibank logos. <br /><br />The popularity of giving and receiving gift cards continues to soar. In 2006, we sold more American Express gift cards than all previous years combined, said Alpesh Chokshi, senior vice president and general manager of American Express travelers checks and prepaid services North America. We are committed to making gift cards available where our customers want to buy them, and Citibank, with its nationwide footprint and banking industry leadership, is a terrific addition to our growing roster of selling partners.<br /><br />The American Express gift card can be redeemed wherever American Express cards are accepted in the US, including a wide range of retailers and restaurants.</p>
