They also take a percentage of every transaction. Your ‘reward points’ came out of your own pocket in the form of credit card processing fees that are baked into the price of everything you buy.

They are also often subsidized with interest from people who don’t pay their cards off

Visa takes a cut from transaction, only a portion of that goes to the bank. I get 2.5% cash back on my transactions, but Visa only charges a 2.24% transaction fee. There must be more to cash back than the transaction fee.
