I will not say that I have specifcally done this scenario on Chase only. However, this is no different than going to Simon Mall, buying GCs with Chase, and then going to WM to do billpays which I have done many times. I suspect that the issue you refer to may have more to do with loading Serve with Chase, i.e. $1k to $1.5k and then directly paying that exact amount back. I know some are scared of this. My sister though did exactly that for months with no AA and that's the most she spent on that card at any time.

Not to mention that Chase is finicky anyways. There is no "safe" thing to do or not to do other than not doing all 5x in Office stores on Ink lol. As always though, don't do more than 1x your CL in a month and do other spend on the card. At $5k/month only though, OP would be at the lower end of the MS totem pole. Also, I wouldn't suggest to just send a straight $5k if that's the worry. Spread it out a little, send $1k and then $2k, and $1.5k, etc.
