Costs a bit more in gas and time, but I have found 1 MO per GC is better for the long game. I even found a place that autodrains, but the customer service rep I worked with has moved on and new people think I'm laundering money for the cartels... These $200's are good to just keep around for everyday spend IMO though. I'll cash a few K in if I have time and maybe hold onto $1000 to use instead of my Sapphire and 3x FU for a while.
