    That’s a good point - there are transaction fees that could support the business. And we even inflate those with cash back and other rewards

      No, they don’t charge higher transaction fees in order to pay those reward rates, they just give up on making any profit from that and instead try to profit from charging interest. Which of course is disproportionately paid from people who cannot actually afford it.
