Yeah, this will work. I purchase gift cards often when I need to meet a spending requirement. I usually go to the grocery store cause I can buy gift cards for almost anywhere, they sometimes come with a discount on future shopping trips (ie. buy $50 GC, save $10 on next shopping trip), and many cards such as Amex Gold Card give me 2pts per $1 spend.
