Oddly, the transaction went thru OK - tho they never knew me from Adam (hardly ever used the card).

Oddly, I was just talking to someone on the phone about this very thing.
I was having a problem with a bank in Canada, getting some funds from the U.S. wired up for a real estate purchase. Amex met me at the bank with a CHECK for a cash advance against the card account.
The customer service in that case was amazing, I have to say. The guy brought a bottle of mid-level champagne as a "surprise" gift to celebrate the purchase, too. VERY classy stuff.
