Not necessarily. If OP is doing that kind of volume with BCP and has not been FR'd, then Amex will probably not FR for moving that spend to PRG, although reports are it's easier to get FR on a charge card than a credit card.

No one except Amex knows whether OP will get a FR or not, but I have done more than that volume with Amex and have not been FR'd, though I built up to it gradually.

If I were OP, I'd buy GC at a grocery store for 2x to get the entire spend. Amex GC would be better ordered with another card that doesn't have a category bonus that can be MS'd. If CVS gives you trouble buying VR with Amex GC, you might have better luck with the personalized cards.
