I'm going to see about adding it as a payment source in my 7-11 app for getting gas. Ever since I found out the app price-matches every other local 7-11 in the area, regardless of which store you're at, that's become my easy button for gas.
The best use I have found for these is to pay my property taxes. There is 2.5% charge for credit cards but only 1% for debit cards, including VGCs. With the 5% off promos it's a slight profit and of course I get the LPs and RDM.

THe only annoyance is it takes forever to pay in $247.52 increments because I can only apply one VGC per day and then need to wait until the next morning for it to update my balance. Still well worth it!
