You need to agree to transfer points at their stated rates. They can't force you to do it. Therefore, I don't see how they can "screw" you. Either you find their rates appealing enough to use, or you don't.

I don't understand this claim either. How can they be ripping you off unless you are forced to use them? What companies offer better ratios, and why not use them instead? If none exist and it would be profitable to do so, why not invest in such a venture?
