Andy Roddick in American Express RED

Andy and American Express team up for charity with the launch of AMERICAN EXPRESS RED in the United Kingdom. Andy joins celebrity ambassador U2’s front man and philanthropist Bono in the campaign.

American Express RED is a new credit card that helps fight AIDS in Africa. American Express is committing up to 1.25% of every pound charged with a (RED) card to the Global Fund. Since its inception in 2002, the Global Fund has committed over $4.5 billion to life-saving programs in 130 countries and accounts for a quarter of the world’s funding for AIDS programs in the developing world.

“If you’re going to have a credit card anyway you may as well get one that helps out,” Andy encourages others to support the campaign. (Not available in the US)

As a further incentive, customers receive REDdeals and a monthly chance to win a REDPass. For more information on the American Express RED Card and how you can contribute to the Global Fund visit:
