CD Poker BJ "cash back" offer

I received an e-mail today from CD Poker offering me "25% Cash Back on Blackjack losses". This can't seriously mean what it looks like it means, right? They can't be offering me a chance to play +EV BJ... can they?

you get 25% of your losses back. as far as I can tell, all this means is that they've taken a quarter off the house edge

Bet $1000 in one hand.
U lose: -$750
U win: +$1000 (or 1500 if u hit BJ)

this is the only way it's +EV - by playing few hands

Ah, net losses, that makes sense. I don't play such games or use bonuses related to them so the offer had me bewildered.

This promo is just begging to get abused.
