benefit massively when that discount DOESN'T get passed down to the consumer except perhaps as something that is an "Introductory Offer" if someone moves a balance from their existing card to that "Intro offer" card, and then it usually reverts back to that near-fixed "high rate" after some "tiny print" number of months later.
