Remember the Target credit card data hack?

Consumers aren't giving their payment info (credit card numbers) when paying with bitcoin, so it's impossible for any new charges to pop up after payment has been made.

Not really a benefit. As a consumer you're not responsible for fraudulent charges on your credit card.

Long term, maybe. But short term it's going to be a bitch sorting out the mess when you realize your credit card cards have been maxed, or you checking account wiped out, and you need to pay your bills.
