I'm sure others can come up with other hypothetical situations that have nothing to do with credit worthiness, transactions, or payment history. The fact that the letter from Amex said "... we have cancelled the account(s) based on adherence to regulatory guidelines" makes me think the issue is more in the neighborhood of what I said above, rather than a traditional creditworthiness issue.
