So you save $8 on a 20 gallon fill-up?
There's also a $5 coupon that currently prints with each purchases of VGC/MGC. Otherwise, you're right, there's not much advantage to buying the low denomination cards unless you can clear them easily (like buying another gift card to stack the bonus points?).
