If you have multiple Amex cards, you may have run into this issue. You add an Amex Offer to a card only to realize you'd wanted to add the offer to a different card. Well, it seems you can have an Amex agent do this via their online chat.
Unfortunately, it seems some agents don't know how to do so and/or believe it's not possible, so you might have to try a few times to get an agent who can help.
Nice flag by Frequent Miler.

Alternatively, you could use CardPointers+ to automatically add all of your Amex Offers so you never have to worry about it.
Spend $650+ on Delta marketed flights on via Amex Travel and get a $125 back as a statement credit. This Amex Offer appears to be targeted to select Amex accountholders.
Points Wire Note:
The first aspect of this promo that stands out to me is "Delta marketed" flights. I often find Delta marketed flights on Amex Travel that are operated by SkyTeam partners such as Air France, KLM, and Virgin Atlantic. According to the terms, these flights will qualify. If the flights are operated by a partner, just make sure it's marketed by Delta.
This could pair nicely with an Amex International Airline Program (IAP) discount available to Amex Platinum and Business Platinum cardholders. Alternatively, it doesn't look like you need to originate in the US which means you might be able to use this for a round-trip business class fare deal starting in Europe (often cheaper) - if you like to nest tickets.

Points Wire Note:
You can earn 25,000 Membership Rewards points when you spend $1,000+ with All Nippon Airways (ANA). This offer appears to be targeted. Some important terms:
"Excludes the following: (i) in-flight purchases of WiFi, entertainment, or phone service, (ii) standalone hotel bookings and car rentals, (iii) purchases through third parties or affiliated agents, (iv) code share flights or ANA flights operated by partner airlines, (v) duty free shopping and orders, (vi) travel insurance/trip protection, Mobile Rental Service, and Bid My Price."
Points Wire Note:
The ideal card for this Amex Offer is the Amex Platinum as you'll earn 5x on the purchase directly with the airline and you'll get trip delay coverage.
You can get a 30% bonus when you transfer Amex Membership Rewards points to Hilton Honors. The standard transfer rate to Hilton is 1:2, so this makes it 1:2.6. Hilton points are worth about 0.5 cents per point.
Must transfer by December 31, 2023.
Points Wire Note:
It's not worth it, especially if you use points and miles for business and first class flights. When you need Hilton points, you'll often be better off buying them during a 100% bonus promo.

Bilt continues to expand it's transfer partner list with the addition of Avianca LifeMiles. You can transfer points at a 1:1 ratio with a minimum transfer of 2,000 miles (1,000 miles if you have status).
Why should you care about Avianca LifeMiles?
LifeMiles offers some great business and first class award rates and they don't pass on the carrier-imposed surcharges which keeps the total out of pocket to a minimum. Just know that they don't have the best reputation when it comes to customer service.

Points Wire Note:
Fun fact: Connecting flights in a class of service lower than the longer segment can reduce the award rate a bit.
Get 10% when you spend $100+ with a maximum of $57 cash back. That means you can earn 10% back on $570 spent. This deal ends on December 31, 2023. You don't need to complete your stay by then, but you need to pay by then.

New York Governor's Office: "Pursuant to the new law, credit card issuers have 45 days to provide notice to cardholders when any existing credit card account or rewards program is cancelled or closed or modified in a way that is less favorable to the consumer. This includes any change that eliminates or reduces the value of a consumer’s points, makes it harder to accumulate points, limits rewards availability, or otherwise diminishes the value of the rewards program. From the day the credit card issuer sends this notice, consumers have 90 days to redeem their accrued points or rewards in accordance with the program’s original terms and conditions. While consumers often cash in their rewards before closing their accounts, the law requires a grace period after any account is closed."
