Got Amex Blue, Went Over Limit By $50 And Lost 0.0%
Anyway, transferred a balance to take advantage of the 0.0% incentive and then briefly went over the limit on the card (a merchant charged me twice) and now AMEX won't honor the promotional finance charge and is charging me 26.7%.
Anyone ever heard of this before?

If you sent over your limit because a merchant charged you twice, then AMex should revert you back to the promotional rate.

Don't give up. They will eventually figure out they have no method to charge the idiot merchant and will need another solution - fix the finance rate.
