Sadly, most madern card colelctors want instant gratification and don't have the patience to mail in the coupon and then wait for it to arrive in the mail. They want to be able to brag to their buddies on the spot and resell it to the card shoper owner/dealer. Although a redemption card is about as meaningless as a card with a swatch or sliver, at least they can claim to have something 'real' with sliver or swatch.

I haven't looked a modern card or price guide in eons. Is there even any secondary market for these inserts a few years after they are issued. Seems to me they would got he way of the error craze in the 80s. Worth a ton for a year od so, essentially worthless now.
