If the purchases to the mint are only for $1k and are on the same am ex card, you should be fine if some of the other transactions are for larger items. If you are making 3 $10K a month purchases to the mint and the other transactions are things like $2 charges at starbucks, you run a bigger risk of a FR.

I have a few different credit cards I use for my hilton and delta am ex purchases, and I try to put other charges on the cards issued in my family members names such as for online purchases and places where you swipe the card yourself like grocery stores to avoid having only mint purchases on those card numbers as well.
