Maybe what I do is a little different.
After logging in to Amex and navigating to the Statements and Activity
Page, I click on the green download icon from the pages toolbar and
select card activity from that drop down.
A new paged opens automatically and on that page I select "Quicken" from
the options in the left pane then scroll down the page to find the date
range selection section in the right pane. Today I clicked on the
"Individual statements available to download" radio button then selected
checked "Aug 15 to Present" since I downloaded about a week ago.
Clicking on the blue "download" button results in a file named ofx.qfx
in my downloads folder and that is the file I inport into Gnucash.
Hope this helps

I just tried to download from AmericanExpress again. I still have the
same problem. I'm just clicking the little download icon next to my
activity on the "Statements and Activity" page. Maybe there's another
method?
With GnuCash 3.6 I was able to import from CSV. That's a hassle, but
the import page is much better than was on Gnucash 2.6, so kudos to
whoever made that.

FWIW, I just downloaded my AMEX card activity with no problems or
unusual results, beyond that it always takes me awhile to find the
correct download portal. Maybe just a transient problem on the
server end?
