It really seems to me that AMEX is more interested in protecting major merchant partners than the consumer. Something similar happed to me years ago with the same company and a citi card MC and MC ruled in my favor. I may dislike Citibank, but I have to hand it to them they were much better than my experience with AMEX. I have stoped using AMEX.
Sounds as though a trip to court would have been in order. The card company's determination of the dispute is not final, it is only a step on the way to court--should you be inclined to do that.
