Anyone had success recently meeting the spend requirement buying $1K (or some large amount) of Amazon giftcards? I buy a lot from Amazon anyways, just wasn't sure if they treat this differently using Level 3 data.
Assuming that this is a Platinum card and that you'll get 1MR p/dollar no matter where you get the AZ giftcard, you're probably better off just doing a reload through AZ as I believe AZ does not provide transaction details. You could also figure out the exact amount you're short and do a $989 reload for example rather than a round $1000.
