Amex offering bonus miles for overseas spend

We all heard of the impending increase for foreign currency conversion fees on Amex cards with effect from 01 Mar 2020. Just to sweeten things up, Amex has launched offers to cardmembers offering bonus miles for overseas spend from now until 31 Mar 2020. These offers seem to be targeted, and here are two offers that I’ve been targeted for:
