Of course Amex knows about this. They knew about it all along. Amex doesn't bother dealing with an issue like this when its a relatively small group of people, but when you get a bunch of bloggers writing about it over and over again in December an January suddenly its not a small group and amex is losing money so they react. Its pretty clear that if this occured it was likely because of the extreme amount of attention bloggers brought to this, because it drastically increased the number of people doing it which increased the cost to amex which may have gotten them to act.
