I personally can't put a price on the value of being able to top up a number of my FF accounts instantly.

I agree with the $0.02 valuation and obviously it can't exceed $0.025 since you can buy them directly for that amount (still a good deal in certain circumstances).

Even in this case if you were to buy them you would get 75k delta miles for $1250 and 2 years of status. Not a bad deal at all.
