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?
 

If your credit card gives you rebate, you will still get it when using that card via Google Pay - or Paypal, too. In the UK is my Amex card gives me the most cashback, but some retailers won't accept it directly because Amex charge them such high fees. Using Amex  via Google or Paypal I still get the cashback and the same retailers accept the payment without question. The downside is that you may not get Section 75 protection via a third party (but may still get chargeback from the bank and Paypal have their own cover), but as we don't get Section 75 cover below £100 anyway in the UK, that is no loss to me. If I'm buying items over £100 I use the credit card direct.
