American Express Security Code error

I'm trying to create an account for my company but can't get past the security code for AmEx cards. The form is saying I must have a 4 digit code--but AmEx's are 3 digit. Wassup with that!

Doh! How embarrassing, so there I was looking at my Amex card again, and re-reading the instructions from Apple, and I realised my mistake.
On the back of the card, there is indeed a 3-digit code that looks for all the world like a security code. Except of course on Amex cards the code is printed on the front, not the back. And of course on the front, there it was, my 4-digit code. I did write back to iTunes support to apologise.
