MS’er on Amex cards looking to be cautious for the future

I buy my GCs in variable amounts from $480-$500 from a non-L3 reporting supermarket to meet MSR on an Amex Biz Plat. While I understand that the non-L3 reporting will stop any sort of automated clawback of my bonus, it’s as clear as day to any human looking at my transaction history that I’m buying ~$500 GCs from this market.




If I am put under an Amex Financial Review in the future, are they likely to clawback the bonus that I am working on now?

Please elaborate on L3, and how one would know if their store is L3?

There is a thread on this somewhere, but when it comes to Amex initial bonuses, it's better to get the bonus via non-MS spending and save the MS for after the bonus has been acquired. There is indeed a danger of having the bonus reversed.
