I may have issues with Amex, but legitimate disputes are not one of them. I've disputed many things during my 11-year relationship with them on various Amex cards, and I'd have to say that the customer service in this area is one in which they excel above all other cards that I have. As tashabelle says, they do seem to act as the advocate for the wronged consumer, IME.
This is one aspect of carrying the Amex card that has helped to cement my loyalty to this card.
