One Dollar

I figure that paying a total of 0.1% more when buying twos $500 MO is more that worth the avoidance of having to show any ID, as opposed to purchasing a $999 MO and risking everything from a WU ban to a denial of service from a WM CSC scanning your DL or passport..

Calcs: Buying two $500 MOs costs me $4.95 x 2 for the cards plus $2 for the MOs, fee total = $11.90 plus card cost.
Buying one $999 MO costs me $4.95 x 2 for the cards plus $1 for the MO, fee total of $10.90 for an fee increase in my way of 9.17% but for the total transaction

1011.9/1010.9 =0.098% difference.

Bottom line. I get my $500 MOs paying the $1 in cash without any requests for ID and completing the transaction without having to do multiple swipes of GCs, which in my opinion is the BIGGEST tell to the CSC that someone is using a GC and not a DC.
