rewardpay using amex explorer- w/ 2.64% surcharge
St. George visaQantas Premier, but only for the opening 75k bonus points
Use divipay and cop the mastercard fee
Note, haven't done it myself yet but intending on doing so this year.
Divi pay is off line for a few months
Did it last month. Awaiting to see if $5000 of payments will make it through to points.
Pain in the arse that they limit the payments to $1000 at a time. Inclusive of fees, you can only pay about $995 at a time + 3.98 fees approx.
And add to the fact that they're offline for a few months.
yes checked - apparently in queue with 600+ applicants before me !
Also, confirmed today. Divipay purchases on my Westpac cc swept over at the normal rate. $3.95 in fees (deductible) for close to 750 points. No brainer. Now just to wait for them to come back online
My tax is deducted from my salary automatically. How do I earn points now? Do you pay to ATO directly?
you have an abn, and pay your taxes to the ato directly as a business entity.
I wonder if there is anything illegal about setting up an abn solely for the purpose of paying tax to the Ato
lol. Unless your boss lets you invoice him instead of PAYG, I don't think an ABN can achieve very much.
Try Rewardpay or B2bpay? Higher fees but tax deductible. By the time you pay 2.5% roughly - tax deductible fees, you're at about 1.5% fees.
My best cards are about 1.25 points per dollar so you're realistically just paying for points at 1 point per dollar spent. Unless you can leverage it to seat upgrades or J class travel, not much point.
i just need to pay my own personal tax - not business involved. Is there any way around that?
Not sure if rewardpay needs your own Abn? It may not so give it a go trying to set up an acct.
Do you need a business credit card?
If you're paying the ATO debt with iTunes gifts cards then any point earning credit card will do :)
Any ideas guys - saw a thread about buying cards from woolies using amex and use that to pay ATO to earn points. Assume i can do that???
pain the arse as their eftpos cards are 106.95, and the deductibility of that fee would be questionable. you would have to buy quite a few to pay off a sizeable tax bill as well.
Yeah - was happy to do the hard work to buy number of them over few days but 6.95 per $100 is way too much
The popular Visa 1 cards have been blocked by the ATO for several months now
Merged from Credit Cards That Let You Use ATO Payments for The Signup Bonus?
I just did my tax return and apparently I owe $3k (yikes!)
Are there any credit cards that consider payments to the ATO as eligible transactions for the signup frequent flyer points bonus?
I know Bendigo Bank and ANZ don't allow this (currently both have 80k Frequent Flyer points bonuses), are there any others that do?
Cheers!
The safest thing is to once you find such a cc, do an online chat if possible to get it in writing if they say ‘yes’.
Bumping this as I'm interested in applying for a card as I have a 5k bill to pay to the ATO.
