I doubt they see any benefit in this, especially with wallets like Paytm and Mobikwik already there which are fast and periodically offer big discounts. In fact I have been using Paytm a lot due to the huge cashbacks.

That is obviously temporary. It is not the merchant who is giving you the cashback but these wallet providers themselves. Same as uber offering 7INR per km rides. It will eventually stop some day when they can no more raise money. From what I have heard, paytm has burnt 30% of their recent raise just for giving discounts and cashbacks.

Thank you Paytm for burning money, I have saved a lot buying expensive stuff like laptop and air conditioners Grin

Still, in the future I am more likely to use Paytm than Bitcoin as payment method as a customer, and this come from someone who has been in Bitcoins for a few years now. Unless there is a benefit in using Bitcoins I don't see it catching on.

Then you will have to wait for some bitcoin company to start throwing in discounts and cashbacks left and right as they earnt or raised tons of money. May not happen in near future i believe.
