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.
   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.
