It sounds as if you are trying to use American Express Pay with Points feature. When you do this you will actually charge the full cost of the ticket to your American Express card account, and then redeem Membership Rewards points to offset the charge at the rate $0.01 per point. You are not booking an award flight, just buying a ticket.

Amex Travel (USA) is operated by Orbitz. is Amex Travel showing NO economy class seats on that flight, or are they simply showing a different fare than aa.com?
