Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

Cobranded programs broaden AmEx Network usage, potentially increasing card-issuer fees, merchant acceptance, and customer engagement. While not an immediate earnings trigger, multi-year expansion into professional verticals can steady volume growth and diversify revenue, similar to prior cobranded rollouts that gradually lift network metrics.
