Which law are you relying on? If it's
Regulation E, the nominal ten day period is still running:
TEN-DAY PERIOD.
A financial institution shall investigate promptly and, except as otherwise provided in this paragraph (c), shall determine whether an error occurred within 10 business days of receiving a notice of error. The institution shall report the results to the consumer within three business days after completing its investigation. The institution shall correct the error within one business day after determining that an error occurred.
I read this to give American Express 13 business days to tell you the outcome. Ten Business days would be: 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 26, 27, 28 and the three additional business days would be: 29, 2, 3.
