American Express don't accept Balance Transfers?

Hi all,
Have had a quick search and can't see anyone who has had the same experience.
Just called Halifax to make a Balance Transfer from my AmEx. Was told that AmEx do not accept BTs (when questioned he accepted it may be just from the Lloyds group, not all banks) but I did confirm that it was an AmEx policy, not a Halifax one (he said it's "just a regular payment" so we're happy to make it to anyone).
Seems a strange policy - anyone had any similar experiences? (I expected that the 15 number issue may arise, but was surprised that it was something different).
Cheers,

I had the same issue when i tried to move a balance from my Amex to Halifax card, it is due to the number not working in their system.
They were really helpful, and did me the same offer, but as a money transfer in to my account to pay it off that way.
Maybe call again and see if they can do you a money transfer for the offer you have.0
