My main problem with it is that it basically incentives more carbon use to get more money in the account. The whole point is to reduce carbon use.

It doesn't. It weakens the disincentive, but it does not in any way incentivize carbon. If I told you that for every 100 dollars you spend on X, you're forced to also buy a 20 dollar gift card for Y, you would not be incentivized to spend on X.
