When paying full price for MS points from Xbox Live you should always order them in blocks of 400. Here's Why:
400 MS Points = $4.99
800 MS Points = $9.99 / 2x400 MS Points = $9.98
1600 MS Points = $19.99 / 4x400 MS Points = $19.96
4000 MS Points = $49.99 / 10x400 MS Points = $49.90
6000 MS Points = $74.99 / 15x400 MS Points = $74.85
Ok, so you're only saving pennies for the hassle of doing multiple transactions BUT, each CC transaction MS processes costs them a fee. Now I have long felt that their should be some sort of price break in exchange for buying MS points in larger blocks but not only is their no price break you end up paying pennies more while MS saves money on processing multiple transactions. Maybe if word gets out and enough people start purchasing MS points this way, they will start offering a price break.
I didn't find anything when doing a forum search so I apologize if this has been discussed here before.
