Although I think a $30/trade surchase will eliminate most trades, I suspect that the fee comes mostly from the airline rather than points.com, and the situation is still better than being prohibited from trading at all, which is the case with most programs.
A very respectable move. Points.com, or any other company with undesirable pricing (even IF it is their doing, not their partners), is not "fleecing" nor "fraudulent" just because they offer what some deem a bad deal. Such accusations should be reserved for companies that engage in true bait and switch, deception, and illegal practices.
