Default Article for American Express Card
Hi,

I don’t understand why the author chose not to use an article before ‘American Express Card’ in the first part of the following sentence. Please comment.

Suppose, for example, that I eat dinner in a restaurant, run up a $20 bill, and pay by American Express card rather than by cash. The American Express card is not money.

Thanks,

MG.
