Got the Gold Bus card. Planning to max it on GC at newegg. thoughts?

I just got the amex gold bus card. I am meeting the 10k spend on regular spend and then I plan on buying e gift cards to lowes and home depot at Newegg to get the 4x.

My hope is to max it... spend 150k on gc each year this way. Again those are Lowes and Home Depot e gift cards.

Those cards are then used for my business expenses. Organic spend.

If they claw back points or something I will just close this card. This is the only use for this card for me

Another thing is that newegg limits one card per purchase/day. So I plan on setting up a bot to buy 2 cards each day of $500 each.

How likely is amex to have an issue with this ? Actual data points?

Sounds to me like a question you should have asked before getting rather than after

In my opinion its risky. Amex does not like gift card purchases. You are risking a shut down of all your Amex accounts
