It seems like you can only turn the rebalancing points back into gift cards at best, which would make it really hard to turn your $6k into rent money at any scale.

I also feel like just one empowered customer service person with a banhammer could seriously curb the behavior in the article. The problem is that they're 'solving' the imbalances that they're creating, so its pretty detectable.
