The 1 Million Dollar Question ...

I really do not know the answer, but I use Simon basically to meet minimum spend, and never buy more than four $500 USD VGCs at the same time. Also, almost always split the transaction between two cards with super odd numbers, trying to avoid putting the exact $1,007.90 or $2,015.80 on one card. I usually throw a random number all the way to the cents on the first card, like $879.23 on the card that needs minimum spend and the rest on any other card.

Now, I have heard from my Simon CS friends that people just go there and buy the maximum and sometimes on one card. Those people might be able to answer your question.
