Can't quite find that, but the numbers of cards world wide in 2013

Amex: 104M
MC: 730M
Visa: 800M
US purchase volume:
Amex: $424b
MC: $534B
Visa: $981B
so even though Amex users charge more than the others, they make a smaller percentage of users, so not taking the card isn't quite as deadly to the merchant as some here suggest.
