Lines: 16 American Express issued a statement directed at exactly this issue. The essence was, yes you should sign if the merchant requests it. Amex claims to have screened merchants so you shouldn't get a dishonest one (not with the 8% fees Amex charges, anyway). If you have problems, Amex wants to hear about it, of course. Coincidentally, on the couple of occasions when I have had problems with my Amex account, a telephone call to an 800 number always solved it within minutes (literally). The solution was always that Amex removed the charge from my account until things settled down. They even did this for $600 worth of airline ticket refunds (which took 60 days!) Art Z.
