People are willing to spend more (Amex is famous for marketing this as to why their interchange fees are reasonable [1] [2]), not necessarily pay higher prices.

Is it good that people are encouraged to spend more with certain financial instruments? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, spend more is more accurate than higher prices.
