Obviously they are not that well known:

I see it all the time on deal boards where people bitch about various rewards programs, even some us regulars have in certain situations where rules gets changed to programs or feel short changed by this or that situation, myself included.
Now granted, I’ve been doing Kohls deals for years now and ‘get it’ and realize newbies come along that look at it from a different perspective. However, all consumers when venturing into uncharted waters should remember being forewarned is forearmed. If you ASSUME that by spending a rewards you were given with a purchase and then returning the item against that rewards makes you ‘clean’ to get a full refund to your credit card on the item you charged to your CC, you would have been far better off first ASKING, just like you inquire about a return policy at a store on a purchase.
Think of all the Target deals that pay out a $10 Gift Card with a $40 purchase of toilet paper. Well, if you go and spend the $10 gift card, and then return the toilet paper, you’re dinged for GC against the toilet paper return. I’m not sure how Target works that $10 gift card if you spend it and return against it but I’d assume, like the Kohls Cash, it reflects being ‘spent’ in their system as that gift card # is a unique number that now has $0 left on it.
