Go to the US mint website and buy coins.
Even if it shows up as a cash advance on the gift card, it doesn't make a difference.
This way would enable you to continuously buy coins without worrying if it will be coded as a cash advance.

This will insure that even when the NA coins go back on sale, it will still be possible to get points. Just one extra step...

P.S. First post and I am sure someone must have thought of this but I can't find it anywhere. Also there are promotions and cb options through fw that can make this potentially sweeter.

This will also allow you to keep on ordering as you can buy cards in increments up to 3k and every card will have it's own number (obviously) making it harder for the mint to keep track.

Any flaws?
