It appears that it only makes sense to by $500 if the deal has limits. When it's unlimited, $50 cards are better.
if you are going to use these for spend you would otherwise put on a card, go with 50s/100s. If you are gonna MS, go with variables. You'd be crazy and put very little value on your time to MS with the low denom fixeds.
