Preclus - how do you think Chase can afford to pay you those cash back bonuses?
It comes from merchant fees, and merchant fees get added to either the product price or "shipping and handling"
That's why many gas stations here only accept debit and not credit, with debit they can have a lower price per gallon and charge the customer the transaction fee. But they can't charge a transaction fee for credit cards, so they have to add that to the price per gallon - which raises the price for cash customers too.
So to have a competitive price for cash customers, they have to reject credit cards and only accept debit.

I came to figure out, why would a consumer/customer use Bitcoins? You have to pay the 3 cent fee, while you dont have to pay anything when paying with a credit card.
So what is really a benefit for using Bitcoins, customer wise?
I think BTC is only important when you think the transaction fees. Otherwise BTC price still not stable as USD... Also, what do people make of the very very long BTC confirmation times? Some of my payments take up to one hour to confirm, this is a big disadvantage BTC has over credit cards AND cryptocurrencies which are much faster now.

Credit cards don't confirm quickly, they get an auth quickly. The actual transaction often takes days to complete. With Bitcoin, a transaction that has 0 confirmations can be seen as an auth. Since bitcoin is not centralized, there are some possible double-spend attack vectors but they are difficult and the vendor can take steps to make them very unlikely.

Yes, and it is faster and cheaper as compared to banking transactions, banks takes almost 24 to 48 hours for online transfer with higher fees, but with bitcoins the credits are instant and with minimal fees and that is the reason people choose bitcoins.

Yes and the best thing is that it is one to one transaction without the involvement of third parties so bitcoin is reliable and convenient and the bitcoin transaction fees are too low as compared to the banking system.

Exactly, people who are aware about the bitcoin transactions and its fees they would never use other methods when it comes to online transfers, as the fees of banks are too high to afford, and bitcoin does it very smoothly and cheaply.

Bitcoin has a relatively interesting price history, mostly a steady up-trend beside some big drops. With this up-trend, you can afford to discount a little for bitcoin, and a 3-cent fee is nothing compared to some credit card surcharges nowadays.

That and as soon as you put your credit card info on a website to shop, it becomes vulnerable as the site or hacker can use that info to steal money from you but it is not the same with bitcoin because if you take proper precautions and/or use cold storage, your private key can always stay secure.

Thats true when it comes to shopping, the credit card feels to be better as now only few places accept bitcoin. Now only people started using bitcoin cards. So once the guy posted the thread start using bitcoin card he feel why bitcoin better than credit card.
