I purchased Costco gift cards online to meet the $200 spending so presumably other online gift card purchases would count as well. Made the purchase on 11/17. The Mastercard email arrived on 11/30 - much longer than the 1 week it was supposed to be but, hey, I got it and am looking forward to getting the $20 cards. I made multiple purchases but used different family members cards as well as different email addresses. It was only one card/person/email.
