If this is brand new, then someone at Chase might get their nose out of joint with the sudden purchase of $3000 of gift cards, which technically by the T&C's of Chase cards should not qualify for the minimum spend requirement. You have three months to qualify. Put some real spend on this card, and use the GCs for filling in the missing spend in the third month.
