Poll Questions 1 and 2: Offer a $24.95 package and the MC rate for that package.
With the Ultimate Game Card (UGC) no longer available as an option to buy MC and Gift Cards (Visa, Master Card, etc..) the only option comparable to the UGC, should this website have an offering of MC at the $24.95 rate?
Gift Cards come in three flavors (at least this is true in the United States) $25, $50, and $100. Currently there are two options available that can be used to the fullest extent possible. A $100 gift card can buy 25000 MC for $99.95 and the $50 gift card can buy 12000 MC for $49.95.
The $25 gift card does not have a convenient option. Instead, it can only buy the 3000 MC and 1250 MC packages for $14.95 and $6.95 respectively. This comes to a total of $21.90 and leaves $3.10 on the gift card. This would not be a problem if gift cards could work the same way the UGC did. If you had three $10 UGC’s, you could buy the $29.95 package using all three of those cards. With gift cards, you can only use one gift card at a time. So the $3.10 that is left on the $25 gift card cannot be used here to buy any more MC.
I would like to propose a package of 5350 MC for $24.95 (or 214.4289 MC per dollar). This amount of MC and MC per dollar is proportional to the $24.95 with respect to the MC package higher and lower to the proposed $24.95 package. For example:
6500 MC for $29.95 equals 217.0284 MC per dollar
5350 MC for $24.95 equals 214.4289 MC per dollar
3000 MC for $14.95 equals 200.6689 MC per dollar
Something to think about – If you have been using the $15.00 UGC card to buy monthly premium time, you can no longer do that. Your option would be to use a gift card. So if you don't like or can’t afford a $50 or $100 gift card, you’ll be using the $25 gift card and having money left over on that card that you can’t use for MWO!

Poll Question 3: Offer the ability to use more than one gift card at a time.
If this website cannot or will not offer a $25.00 gift card option, should they allow users to purchase a MC package with more than one gift card?
This follows the same buying practice as the UGC where you could use multiple UGC’s to buy MC. In my example above, you are left with $3.10 on a gift card. The next time you make a purchase (if this option were available) you could use that $3.10 to 3000 MC plus your next gift card to finish the purchase. Example:
Gift card 1 has $3.10 left
You want to buy 3000 MC at $14.95.
You use gift card 1 and have a balance of $11.85.
You use gift card 2 (say another $25 card) to finish the purchase.
This leaves $13.15 on gift card 2 that can be applied toward your next purchase of MC.

Poll Question 4: Both?
Or should this this website do all of the above? Offer a $24.95 MC package and allow multiple gift cards on a single purchase?
