Merchant brand is a specific GC for a brand. Like a gift card to best buy, home Depot, restaurants etc. (just for example, not sure if these specific brands are on offer).

The upside, no fee. Downside is that it's less flexible than the regular Visa card.

There isn't. Periodically there are discounts on the GCs (a 5% recently, for example) that end up making the fee moot.

Currently it's like paying 5.99 for 768 LPs.
