Valuemags, and the other merchants where you can shop through Goldpoints, do not put that banner on their websites. It's done with HTML frames. Frames are a way to build a displayed page that contains information from more than one site.

I could make a LeapPoints website with a link to United Airlines itinerary creation page that has a banner on top saying "10,000,000 LeapPoints per every dollar being spent". It would not be UA's fault if you bought tickets and then didn't get the LeapPoints. It would be mine, as the person that controls the displayed text and who lead you to it with a link.
