This is because they still hold a card issued by American Express, but not a card which participates in Membership Rewards. You can read the terms here to satisfy yourself that this is correct:

https://rewards.americanexpress.com/...F&mrk=&stoken=

If you voluntarily cancel your enrollment in the program but keep at least one American Express® Card open and in good standing, you'll have up to 30 days from the date of cancellation to use any points in your program account. If you cancel your enrollment in the program and don't keep open any American Express Cards, all points in your program account will be immediately forfeited.
