Delta has a 1:1 transfer rate also gift cards are good options. Brooks Brothers and Home Depot is like 5000 points $50 gift cards. Hilton has a 2000 AMEX points for 1000 Hilton and SPG is 1000 points for 333 spg

Airline or hotel, doesnt matter.

Pick an airline you’d use for points and transfer points

Homedepot giftcard (in case you already have zillions miles)

Avios miles if you want to book award travel on BA ir domestic routes on AA or AS

Delta one for one points

How long after leaving is the corp card cancelled? How long do we have to redeem our points?

P1, that's why it's always recommended to have at least 1 personal Amex MR card (Everyday, Premier Rewards Gold, etc.). That way, if you get canned or quit suddenly, you don't lose all your points.

I usually take gift cards in the ratio of $50 for 5000 points. Personal favorite is Nike because I shop a lot from there.

Get another Amex card that keeps your points alive. Never preemptively move points.
