There definitely seems to be something odd with AmEx lately. Australia changed to Chip & Pin exclusively sometime last year (signatures no longer accepted), and yet AmEx still haven't sent out new Chip cards so it can be used in retail stores. It's as if they've given up on the Australian retail market. Very strange.

My Amex credit card issued almost a year ago has a chip and PIN.

Also, have you read this on Amex's Australian site?
