True. But, people who use credit card points as a means of topping off/supplementing their mileage accounts do not get cash rebates.

Those cards tend to have their own internal 'mileage' programs like Capitol One or Thank You Points whereby a 'free' ticket is actually purchased by card company on behalf of member, with no bearing on member's FFP account balances.
