This sounds like a Financial Review. Most likely the Account Manager will ask you to submit an IRS form 4506-T which allows them to verify your income. See the Wikipost of this thread:

In general, American Express is much more interested in your verifiable ability to pay (income) than in how you spend your money, but buying instruments which are readily convertible into cash (gift cards) makes all issuers uneasy.
