The problm with that is it might be seen as money laundering since it just goes in a circle and no product/service is actually purchased. I'd be afraid it would trigger an Amex financial review.

Yup. I've been using BB to pay for my utility bills that I couldn't pay via CC before. I also have a huge chunk of student loans that I haven't been able to get points for paying. And it all helps me meet minimum spend on new cards
