I have, in years past, purchase them as "gifts" for my spouse from me and then the reverse from him to me on his card without any problems with reimbursement.

I got nervous, based on the postings here saying not to do this so I decided to test with just a small amount $. One of each option.

I will post here as to the success or failure of either or both when the reimbursements post.
