How are the merchants paying benefits to credit card owners? Either way you would be fool to believe the merchants pay anything with their own money. It's just like saying that the lottery owner pays the winners.

Paid through interchange fees. Cards with the most rewards are most likely heavily supported by interchange.

Fees are higher for those cards than cards without rewards.
