Im gonna go to Best Buy or Gamestop in the next day or two to take another look.  But, I researced this last year when trying to buy a card for some game (can't remember which).  My finding was that all XB cards are just XBL credit.  It was also confirmed to me by a Best Buy employee.  So, unless it has changed in the last several months, I'm nearly certain of this.  

It’s never worked that way. They’ve always sold digital cards that redeemed for specific games. You were literally just showed an Amazon page full of digital games. Just because a Best Buy associate says something doesn’t mean it’s fact. A GameStop employee once told me Nintendo was going to buy Playstation. Sometimes retail employees say stupid things.

I already said that there tons of cards that appear to be for specific games.  But, they're actually just XBL credit.  While this thread has made me second guess whether *all* cards that appear game specific are just XBL credit, I am 100% certain that some are.  I've owned two that I used to get games other than those shown on the card just in the last several months.
