Once that has been established, and that the bank is refusing the transfer, then BA will eventually consider alternative payment routes, but it has to be after the transfer route is established to be non viable. So this will take weeks. If you are totally certain that BA has received back the fund from Amex, then if you don't appear to be making process you could send a PM to the BA Refund Helper account here on FT.
