A view-only field indicating the date that the merchant was activated.

Note: A merchant is considered activated once they have submitted their first net deposit greater than or equal to $5.00 for any type of card volume.

A view-only field indicating the status of the Global Sponsored Merchant (SPOIG) response file and whether American Express accepted or rejected the merchant record when it was received on the SPOIG file. You can view the SPOIG response file in the Content Download Repository in e-Connections to see which records were rejected and which fields need to be updated before resending the file to American Express.

Possible values:

• Accepted: American Express accepted all of the detail records in the SPOIG file.
• Errored: American Express rejected the SPOIG file and returned an error response for each rejected detail record by Industry SE.

  Note: You can use the AMEX OptBlue SPOIG Errors file in the Content Download Repository to review these errors.

• Transmitted: The record has been transmitted and is awaiting a response from American Express.
• (Blank): The registration record has not been transmitted to American Express.

Note: The SPOIG file is not sent to American Express until the merchant has been activated.

A view-only field indicating the date that the merchant record was last sent in the Sponsored Merchant (SPOIG) file to American Express from TSYS Acquiring Solutions.

The date the registration status changed on the American Express merchant registration.

The current status of the American Express registration. Possible values are:

• Amex Closed (A): This option is used when American Express notifies that a merchant needs to be removed from the OptBlue program, typically via the Seller Canceled Derogatory Notification file.
• Client Denied (D): This indicates that the client has denied the merchant from the OptBlue program; this could be for any reason.
• Closed (C)
• Registered (R)
• Reinstatement (I): If a client changes a merchant's registration status to Reinstatement (I), the status will be updated to Registered (R) within the TSYS Express AMEX Merchant Registration screen, after the Global SPOIG file creation. This logic is incorporated so that the merchant record is only sent once to American Express as Reinstated.
• Saved (S): This indicates that the registration data has been saved, but the full registration process is not yet complete.
• TSYS Closed (T): This option is for TSYS use only, should TSYS close an American Express registration account.
