I don’t think that would be any better (or more compliant). A restaurant couldn’t offer different prices depending on whether you pay with Visa or Amex. Or whether you use Amex Plat or Amex Gold.

What if I bought a v4 ring with my Plat, received $200 back, and then liked it so much that I wanted to gift someone a v3 ring? Why shouldn’t I be able to pay with my Plat even though I don’t get a second credit?

That credit is between Amex and me, and whether Oura in involved in paying Amex a kickback is none of my concern.
