I don't really see the difference between direct cashback, and accumulating points and cashing out every year at 2 points to a $. Rewards cost less for the company to deliver to you, so they "give" you more of them by advertising their cost as the public listing price, and not the price they actually paid for it. Cashing out, if fair, essentially gives you the money they set aside to buy select rewards with.

My credit card's points can be redeemed for points with an airline of my choice (I've heard Krisflyer points are the best value?), or used at a special overpriced online store.
