All my Amex accounts were paid in full and in good standing for over 20 years. The one AU that has ties to the cannabis business apparently kept all his LLC's separate from his personal business, so no connection there, and he still has his own personal Amex account while I am banned and couldn't even be added as an AU to my parent's Amex account (and they are old school Amex customers).

Looks like the next step is to file a claim with this form and hope to get some resolution via arbitration, or perhaps even an answer.

If there are lawyers out there who want to take my case, I'd be glad to share half the proceeds with you!
