Since you can pack ANY reasonably short text into QR codes, it works well for encoding a vCard (e.g. at the back of your business card), and we even encoded pure Perl code once for a job campaign.

So, there might be good reasons and use cases for using QR codes, but just encoding a URL probably isn't, looking at the conversion rate.
