It's not the user's responsibilty to ensure these incentives are sustainable. Look at what happened with the Hoover free flight program.

The user is the one, well, using it! Sure, in some cases it's not obvious if you're abusing the system but this seems pretty clear.
The best way I've seen businesses get around this issue is to just have an upper limit on the incentive like interest applies only to the first $x. Its often a nice bonus for people that were going to use them anyway but not enough for people to justify exploiting the incentive alone.
