No, I didn't miss your point. Your point is just wrong...
Call AMEX if you like. They will tell you what they told me on this when I wanted to make another large purchase and the merchant didn't want the whole thing on the card. According to AMEX - EVERY merchant reserves the right to limit the amount they will allow for a card purchase, and it in no way violates their user agreement with AMEX.
