To use it online you will lose a dollar or two because the merchant will ping your account with that amount to verify the address, temporarily reducing the balance. Also, since to the merchant it looks like a Visa card, so far I have not found a single one that will let me use it plus another form of payment. So with a $25 Simon account, one has to find a purchase that comes to precisely $23 or $24 to maximize the benefit. Some online merchants will let you buy gift cards in any denomination, so that's one way to use a Simon account -- and possibly double-dip miles or points through a shopping portal, if the merchant gives points for gift card purchases (I've found I get green points for buying gift cards with just about any merchant, when I cannot get miles from my favorite airline).
No, Simon will not let you combine the orphaned dollar or two from multiple accounts. They got to make money somehow.
