Does buying VGC/MCGC at Staples with an Amex SimplyCash qualify for the 5% bonus spend? Does it pose risk of financial review/shutdown?

Similarly, does buying third party GCs like Amazon qualify or pose any risk? I assume no for this one, as I have plenty of personal data points, but still wanted to ask.
Staples and OM V/MC GC purchases have been dead for any Amex bonus or regular points for quite a while.
