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.
For AMEX, be slightly cautious about how many accounts or how many transactions you do. I had to move 1.5M AMEX MP points last year, and once I had added three siblings Delta, BA and HI accounts and started moving miles two moves in we got locked out of additional moves and had to go through a fraud protection process with AMEX on the phone. Fortunately, there was another authorized USER on the account who was able to release the fraud control and we could continue to move miles.
