MARKHAM, ON, April 30 /CNW/ - American Express is pleased to announce

available through Front Of The Line - from tickets to a Jann Arden concert to
the luncheon with Governor Schwarzenegger - illustrate that American Express
is a market leader when it comes to delivering value and variety to its
discerning Cardmember base."
American Express Cardmembers also have priority access to seats at
entertainment events after the Front Of The Line advance purchase period, and
can take advantage of exclusive experience packages such as box seats, private
