Changing balance transfer target

I applied for a new card (Card A) to pay off a balance on Card B. I provided the Card B number as my transfer target. The new card will not arrive in time and so I have  had to pay off B's balance  with a transfer to card C.

A message from Card A says that when it arrives and I verify it that will trigger the payment to Card B. But I no longer need. to make a payment to Card B.

Will the Card A people let me change my target to Card C prior to verification 
 
Thank you for any thoughts

    Any balance transfer cards I have used ask for the target at the time of transfer.  I have not ever been asked at the time of application.  Suggest you ask the card issuer?

    I've applied for cards which allow you to request the transfer during the application, it doesn't happen until approved and the card issued and activated

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
