Bluebird: paid the wrong Amex payee ($2k). Options?

Bonehead mistake...really kicking myself here.

Both my wife and I have an SPG Amex. We're both authorized users on each others card.

I'm (usually) extremely meticulous about payments and keeping our accounts separately.

Today, I paid $2k to my wife's card...the card she's authorized on my account. When in actuality I meant to pay my wife's primary card.

Wife's amex balance: $2k

Mine: $0

When this payment goes through....

Wife's amex balance: $2k

Mine: NEGATIVE $2k

I'm getting mixed messages from Amex. Yet to contact Bluebird.

I've heard everything (Depending on which CSR I get) from...we'll refund your bank the $2k, to...you can't use Bluebird to pay a cc bill...yada yada yada

I'll keep calling Bluebird/Amex, but in the meantime, has anyone ever mistakenly paid the wrong payee?
