I've been buying GCs at my grocery store and have purchased around $1000 so far. Has AMEX ever FR'd someone immediately after clearing them?
I suppose they could if tripped the right flag. But it's more like if you were new and you go over 10k at the grocery store for a couple months in a row. Also, if it is a new card I wouldn't spend 1k at a grocery store as my first transaction. If your only goal is spending 3k in a couple months then tossing a card in your basket once a week should get you there without any trouble.
