If you are happy to pay GBP30 for 3000 points , then no just use AMEX. Personally, for foreign currency spend, I would be aiming to save the money
But by paying in £ they avoid the conversion fee so those 3k avios don't cost £30. What they will do, based on the figure you provided, and assuming the £10 offline fee, is cost £10 for 3k avios. That's a decent deal for most people.
