7. We've Been Using Cards Here For At Least 5 Years

Not credit, but debit.
There's a simple workaround with a debit card, but it seems like the same workaround would apply to credit cards by calling it a cash advance, not a direct purchase.
Nothing illegal about taking a $50 cash advance against one's own credit card.
That's how the debit card workaround functions.
So, I'm not sure how this change allows anything they could already do.
