Any preferences here - and why?

 I have often wondered about the value of any of these.  What's wrong with a credit card which gives you a rebate?

    I think it's just part of the cellphone ubiquity trend. People
don't want to have to leave their cellphone for anything.
For a non-cellphone-addict it's an awkward bottleneck to
use 3rd-party (spyware) pay services. For the average
cellphone addict (90+% of people) it seems like a brilliant
idea to just set up one e-servant to handle all of your
transactions and paperwork.

So you pay the bill to the wallet entity rather than the credit card entity?  What if you use different cards at different stores/functions?

    That's becoming increasingly true. Just a few years ago,
Apple Pay and "wallets" were not accepted in most places.
Today, in urban areas, it's possible to live almost exclusively
by cellphone.

I posit that such a life is inadequate.
