So I would really want to know what card let you use the check for points. I don't think there's one unless there's a fee to use the checks which will offset the reward points they give you.
Yeah all of the rewards cards I've ever seen or used have been the same. When they send those convenience checks, it explicitly states that any purchases made with them will not accrue or count towards rewards programs. Otherwise it'd be way too easy to abuse as you've noted.
