Really?

No, you are returning item A for item A. The only thing dishonest is that points will be taken away for an exchange unless you force the order of the processing, so you need to buy and return instead of return and buy.

I think there is an error(may be a bias?) on the part of the writer of linked article to use the word 'Arbitrage' and wrongly describe it. If you are curious to learn, find the definition of Arbitrage on the web, Price Arbitrage is buying the 'same' product and not 'similar-looking' at a different price from different place/vendor or at a different time.

Arbitrage is 'Legal' - Banksters do it all the time, no one goes to jail.

I am done with 'pro bono' explanation of 'Arbitrage' I do accept the fact there are always some that argue, defend but refuse to learn! -The end-
