Chase and Amex have bought points from the loyalty programs which need to be disbursed within a certain timeframe, so churners are sometimes useful @:-) Still these freaks still probably only are less than 1% of their customer base, so the occasional audit/check is fine to keep it that way. The banks certainly know how to draw on this point drain when required. What may annoy them is the fact that they have to pay intermediaries cash for this captive audience, which is a waste of money. That would explain the bank folks at events and the crackdown of affiliates.
