I've never used this service, but wouldn't wiring money using a credit card be tantamount to cash advance? Given that most AMEX cards are still charge cards (as opposed to credit) and don't permit cash advances, this wouldn't surprise me one bit. That is, of course, if I understand what you were saying.
