I bet the card issuers actually use that information the other way around to stop rewards being earnt on certain (most) spending on the Curve card :-(
At the moment they are pretty blind and pay rewards on the whole balance.
It also suggests that due to the passing through of codes ATM withdrawals will now land you with a fee on your underlying card.
