I don't think you understand the CP system, friend. To gain a level of renown (or regular connections, for that matter), you need to earn CP equal to that level; so, 1 CP generally does not equal 1 level of renown. In your case, you likely had level 3 renown with 0 points towards level 4. By turning in 7 favours, you gained the 4 points you needed to reach the next level of renown (4), and then the remaining 3 points went towards reaching level 5. So actually, you were gaining 1 CP per favour, and this option was not, in fact, wasting 4 additional favours.

That being said, you could say that your turn in was a rip off: up until you reach level 5 renown with rubbery, you can easily gain renown AND favours with the option to meet some rubberies at the sideshows. The option on this page is best utilized to get from level 5 to level 8 renown (in fact, I believe it's the only way to do so).
