I think we are beyond the "perhaps" stage.

Curiously, in the 1990's when the Canadian dollar was plummeting against the US dollar, Amex didn't hesitate at all to lower the conversion rate.

Any suggestions on where to send a request to have Amex look into this situation (other than their first level Customer Service)?
