how is that going to work after MR points have been transferred to partners and a card is cancelled after 11 months before the 2nd year AF hits?

I think the intent is to clamp down on 1st year AF dodging, RSVP codes, MS and such, which make sense. Stop blatant abuse.
They give the customer a huge negative balance, and a letter saying to buy them back to even zero at the purchase price (3 cents?)

Then they close the account and ban the customer. If they want to make an example, they can go to court
