I'm not a lawyer, but in my opinion most CC trades violate the letter of the program T&C's. IMHO, CC exists because it complies with the spirit of the programs by restricting trades to travel for travel. Still, if you get busted for a trade, it won't help you to say "But I did the trade on Coupon Connection". Same for any barter site. If you trade with a genuine friend, you may have a defense.
