    No, cashback is literally a “use this credit card and we’ll give you 1% of your money back as a reward” then they charge the vendor 3% to process the transaction.

        Yes and no, those rewards increase the prices charged by the retailer.

        Then the credit card company’s ban charging extra to cover that.

        It’s inherently a monopolistic exploit.
