If you are out of the US and need to fly home for whatever reason like illness or other, the card will not get you on a plane.
The card is OK if you are driving or walking into the border areas Canada or Mexico. I have done both. I just got a book because I am planning a trip where I can't drive or walk.
We contacted Vietnamese embassy in D.C. and they said $220 for a one year multi entry and the way they worded it was that was currently the only choice. Others say $25 for single entry.
Cambodia and others are easy to get a visa when you arrive at the airport. Do you pay more that way?
It sounds like Vietnam has a process unlike the others. (?)

U.S. CITIZENS-- As of 25 Aug 2016, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month VOA is not available any more, only a 1 year visa. Fee to process approval letter: 1 year validity is $35 and up/person (varies by vendor) and stamping fee at VN airport is: $135.
The plan was to enter Vietnam near Can Tho and not airport arrival. Short stay under 14 days easily.
The Vietnamese Embassy told us $220 for one year. It seems the 1-3-6 are no longer offered.
Please note that between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017, holders of British, German, French, Spanish, Belarus and Italian passports will not require a visa for stays of up to 15 days. It is not yet known whether that exemption will extend beyond June 2017.
