The way that I understand: The only advantage with the temporary is the ability to load at self checkout with no human interaction (which allows the full $200 swipe for normal BHN/PW VGCs and MCGCs). You can use the barcode and the permanent card at money center / customer service anytime, just those specific BHN/PW cards would be limited to $99 per swipe and you also need to get eye to eye with an employee. Many other VGC/MCGCs are not limited to $99 and can be swiped in full btw. Although, Staples/ODOM sales make BHN/PW very appealing.
