Not sure why you won't say which card it is. But in any case, keep reading - somewhere in the T&Cs it usually defines how they define "purchases". Though in my experience, fees of any sort are usually not counted as a purchase for that purpose.
If in doubt and if for some reason the T&Cs are unclear, just assume the fees don't count - which again, is a safe bet.
