The thift shoppers who raid goodwills to resale the nicer clothes at garage sales and the like are in the same moral boat imho.

People en mass engaging in this activity has more drawbacks then most could see. Its one of those things we will see laws for in the future when governments wise up, just like all marginally effective easy money schemes.

considering companies don't like this, and will freeze and cancel your accounts, which effectively means you just lost however amount of money on the account (usual several hundred to a thousand)

no, it's not a "nice lil way to earn some good shit"

that's not even getting into the convoluted rube goldberg ways they go about doing it

Not really seeing a morality argument there, although I suppose it still seems a little scummy. It's certainly not as exploitative as manufactured spending or people who use coupons to hit a negative value when shopping.

Trying to read up on it, but what's a really egregious use?

I'm reading about it now and it just seems to be using your credit card to pay for necessities instead of discretionary spending? What's wrong with that?

Step 1 buy a bunch of prepaid reward cards

Step 2 use said cards to purchase money orders, essentially spending the money to earn reward points for using the card. Use the money order paying off expensive things you were going to pay off anyway

Step 3 ???

Step 4 PROFIT!

trying to load pre-paid reloadable debit cards, with gift cards, and the method that's "accepted" literally has this in it

"Train your Walmart Employee."

literally grooming a person just so they can let you break the terms and agreements with your card holders so you can reload a debit card with a giftcard, then pay off your credit card with that, then use the credit card to buy another gift card, repeat.
