its not amex that is blocking it is the mint.
i paid down the limit and called the mint and they put me through with headquarters and they said since the order was cancelled bec the card is new they wont let me reorder . bec they are not there to build up your credit and are afraid of you buying them and just depositing it.
so what can i do

Oh GREAT! My AMEX SPG card is new. I have had it just over a week. I ordered $3,000 worth of coins and got an email today saying that it is backordered. I sure hope they don't cancel mine.
Do you mind me asking how new the card was that you used and how much you tried to buy from the US Mint and how long ago you placed your order?
Has anyone else had this problem? Do you usually have to have the card for a while before you can start purchasing coins?

You said, "What can I do?" You might have to just use a different cc. If you really want to build up your points on SPG, maybe you will just have to use that as your main spending card. Or maybe you can try to add a new cardmember to your account and use that card.

it is 2 months old and it all depends on your credit limit. mine was only 2,000 and placed a 2,000 order so they cancelled it i did get 1,000 orders before hand. should i just say my card got lost and get a new number? and should i change the billing address to a different place?

New Restrictions
Just got off the phone with US Mint Rep. Was told that effective today they have a new policy on orders. Then I looked on the site and there it was:
There is a 4-box $1 Coin limit for every 10-day period on any and all $1 Coin orders. Beyond that your credit card will not be authorized. If you need quantities greater than this, please send an e-mail before placing your order to [email protected] explain why your order should be exempted from the limit.
As told by a rep. a person would not be even able to make $1000 orders on different credit cards if they're within 10 days of each other. Also the limit applies to a physical address, so no two people at the same address will be able to make orders within 10 days of each other as well.
One the other hand cumulative household limit seems to be gone.

So it would appear they're using address as the limiting factor vs credit card? Is that correct?

I laughed when I read this, since this is almost exactly the rate of coin purchases I have been allowed during 2010. They have almost all been John Adams. Everything else has been cancelled. Hopefully it is 10 days after the order date, not the approval (or worse) the shipping date.
I have had no luck with using new or replacement credit cards to alternative shipping addresses. They play psych games, too. I will set up a brand Mint account using a computer IP that I have never placed an order from, a brand new e-mail address, an alternative address, etc. and it will be cancelled and the cancellation appears in my long-standing Mint account. I guess they are saying "We know who you are." Glad other people had more luck than me in getting amounts greater than $2,000 - $3,000 a month.
Under these rules, a diligent purchaser can get about $36,000 a year if the 10 days is based on order date. Not bad, really. I still love the Mint,

Also, all coins are showing to be "In Stock". Till last night, most of the presidents were backordered until 06/18/2010. Wow! Things keep changing with the Mint.

When I click on the specific coin under the $1 Coin Direct Ship, I see it.
The How Did You Hear About Us has Printed Flyer on it.
For a moment I thought it said Flyertalk.
It would be funny in the choices were:
Flyertalk
Fatwallet
SlickDeals
That Wall Street Journal Article
