This is addressed in the wiki, and it is recommended that your ecredit/GC be enough to cover the first passenger's ticket such that the second ticket charge will trigger the additional collection credit.
That said, I did just that last week and have still not been notified of any credit being trigger. My scenario is as follows:
1) Purchase $325 gift card
2) Booking 2 tickets @ $272 each, GC covers full charge of ticket 1 and ~$53 of ticket 2, leaving ~$217 charge on the AmEx card
3) Have not seen any movement on the credit meter; purchases were made May 4th
EDIT: To update, credit was awarded today (6 days after purchase).
