Are the aliases exact string matches?

My scenario is I have 'American Express' depositing money from credit
card transaction into my bank account. The memo includes the date the
transaction was processed so it is unique. Once a month they charge me
their fees with a different (and also unique to that transaction) memo
field.

example:

05/04/09        AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090502,            $143.60
05/04/09        AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090504,            $745.49
05/01/09        AMERICAN EXPRESS, COLLECTION 090501,            -$4.95
05/01/09        AMERICAN EXPRESS, SETTLEMENT 090501,            $1,424.90
