Tabs work when you have the SAME offer on more than one card. If you don't open the cards in seperate tabs, when you "take" the offer on one card it disappears from all. If you open the cards in separate tabs, and load the available offers in each, you can add it to all applicable cards. But it won't solve OPs issue where the "right" card doesn't have the offer.
Oooh, pro-tip! Thanks senor!

I have offers for spend $150 at a Hilton Garden Inn (HGI), get $30 back on my PRG and BCE, but not on my Surpass. I'm staying in several HGIs during vacations this summer, and now I have a difficult decision on what to use...
Anyone else ever wonder how AMEX decides what AMEX offer goes on what card?
I'd be willing to bet that is by design. It'd be a complete no brainer if they had given you the same offer on your Surpass. Hilton probably asked that they add it to all cards except their Hilton cards. I currently have that offer on my BCE but not my Hilton HHonors card (no AF version).
I'd say thank you for the multi-tab tip, but I take advantage regularly. I hope you were able to add that Smart & Final offer on all your cards. I got a lot of half price shopping at Amazon with that one.
