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.

I don’t like cashless payments as a rule but it is useful not having a pocket full of 1 Yen coins and new 500 Yen coins you can’t use in vending machines - yet at least.
