if you buy the $500 VGCs and you can't use them all in one or two shopping trips, keep in mind that the risk of your card getting hacked will be higher. There are already reports of VGCs getting hacked right after they're activated, and those who use them for everyday spend found unauthorized charges sooner or later, which they have to dispute with the issuer.
