Sorry for your loss. So many things to deal with on top of the grief.

Can you transfer points to your own airline account via online transfer if logged into the Amex account? For example, I can transfer points to my spouse’s delta account. If not, then I think I’d transfer to account owners airline account and simply close the card via chat without providing a reason other than simply don’t want it anymore.
