So when the charges posted we had 2 separate charges from Avis. Therefore, we ended up getting charged the $19.99 twice by Amex.
Don't see how that's Amex's fault. In any event, $40 for 40 days premium coverage seems quite reasonable to me. The rental company would charge over $35/day for roughly equivalent protection. My personal car insurance costs over $10/day.
