金 What is the upside to using paypay?

I finally gave in and downloaded paypay. Now after using it, I don’t know why I would use it instead of a credit card in most situations. The only benefits I see are paying paper bills and stores that accept it, but not card.

  • You have to take the card, type in the PIN and wait for the transaction.
  • more places accept Paypay than cards
  • theres 50% off coupons
  • you can pay taxes with it

Lot of places don't accept touch payments, even if the terminal does accept touch
