KLM gift cards?
I'm looking to spend $1k on KLM to earn an Amex bonus, but I'm not ready to buy any tickets yet. Do they sell KLM gift cards/certificates on the KLM.US website? I've looked around and can't find anything.

If you need bonus miles, then why not buy a fully flexible/refundable ticket for a departure in the distant future.
This will generate Amex miles now.
If you fly a bit, you will be able to change the ticket. Worst case scenario is you
ask for your money back before the ticket expires.

Not sure what you mean with gift card. Something for friends to buy tickets?

Yes, I guess that is a better idea!

Easier said than done...
can anyone tell me how to book a refundable fare on klm.com/us? I've spent close to an hour playing around with the website and can't find anyway to actually specify that I want to shop for a refundable fare.

Otherwise, call them.
There is no fee for booking over the phone when the fare is not available on line.
