I recognize this response is 10 year late however it came up as a Ask.com Search response to my similar question and I thought it may help Flyertalk members. I found this on the Amex website today:
These Terms and Conditions and the Card, and all questions about their legality, enforceability and interpretation, are governed by the laws of the State of New York, USA (without regard to internal principles of conflicts of law).
YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
By using the Card you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety. Should you wish not to be bound by these Terms and Conditions in their entirety you must, prior to using the Card, request and obtain a refund of the value of the Card by calling 1-877-297-4438.
I suggest you call them and say you do not agree with the terms and want a refund.
I hope this helps someone.
