Technically, the cashback they pay you likely comes directly out of the transaction fees they collect, which means that after expenses (for running the infrastructure etc.), they make little to no profit on swipes. Which means they have to make profit somewhere else, which, you guessed it, is fleecing those who don't pay their balance off every month for as much as they can get away with.
