Speedpass: Why?

One of the most inane ideas that just won’t die is Mobil’s Speedpass, a magic wand that carries your credit card information and allows you pay outside or inside by simply waving it over a reader. The obvious question is: why? How much time does it save versus swiping a credit card? Seconds, perhaps.

Can anyone tell me even a single advantage of using one of these goofy ass devices?
