What exactly do you mean by a "swipe limit"?

Are you saying that if you have a $1000 VGC and try to buy a $999.00 MO from WM that you have to swipe it 4 times to make it work?

IOWs, one swipe fails, 4 swipes of $250/swipe succeeds? That would now start to make sense to me. Perhaps WM has placed a "unload limit" on these cards. This would replicate the One Vanilla card that has a $49.99 limit on it. I would not experience it because my swipes are <$250 (or whatever the limit supposedly is).

Of course this is only rank speculation, so please don't take it as fact
