I have had other problems with BB; now I'm done with them. I hate that they can't be emailed and you have to call them. Does anyone know how I could get them to reimburse me? I wonder if regular AmEx would help.

Keep trying to get it escalated to a higher up mgr, but Amex CC is completely different and will not be any help...same company, but totally unrelated. Easier to just use BB to pay off cc and write a regular check to landlord.
