thanks...

Due to the crazy way AmEx posts Membership Rewards, I'll have to dig a bit to see if you do get the 5x, but I think so.

As far as I know, that $103 ticket above was the most expensive I've see where it works. Try checking out separately for each ticket, or for 2 and then the third if you'd like. I've read $100 is the max in a few places. You could always try it and be the data point to learn from!
