Why don't you just put some real swipes on it instead of ruining small value Amazon GC for the rest of us? It's nice to have small value Amazon GC there in case of emergency or for lazy liquidation of small GC amounts, but you and your ilk are going to kill it from overuse.

If it's a debit card, you can use Serve.
If you have a Softcard-Serve, you can use a credit card.
I know that this blog is extremely hated here, but here are some ideas as well. http://millionmilesecrets.com/2015/0...ts-each-month/
In addition, you might be able to prepay some bills by adding just a few cents if there's an online form for it.

But don't use a debit card that earns $.10 per transaction for that $.01 load. Use of a RB (aka Bank of the Biker) card to load RB would be considered ilking and you don't want to get caught ilking an institution that promotes membership if you join a Texas motorcycle club. You just don't wanna get on the bad side of folks like The Bandidos whose motto is "We are the people our parents warned us about."

If anybody knows how to make money and defend against ilkiness, it's Amazon. M$ers swiping 50 cents at a time is just not going to be a deal killer. They'll simply raise the minimum if it's a problem. EDP 50 cent swipes -- would this scale into big out of the box opp? Don't think so.

Admittedly I was in a bad mood when I wrote that, but I do think that there's a difference between abuse (30 EDP charges of $0.50 each) and use from time to time. Personally, I've bought < $1 Amazon eGC maybe 5 times in the past year.
Oh, and by ilk I meant people hitting Amazon for lots of < $1 Amazon GC per month. When I use EDP (I don't use it every cycle), I actually use it for 30 swipes in a cycle. Novel concept.
