Is there a CC that I can use to pay ATO some money whilst getting points on those transactions?
Of course, I want to do it as Bpay transaction from my CC account to ATO so I dot get charged by ATO for the transaction fees.
I've been able to do the Bpay part via my VirginMoney and NAB CC but seems like I am not getting any points on those transactions from CC company…
Yes payment via CC is allowed… directly from ATO site incurs surcharge but the way to avoid that is to pay via BPAY from the bank… say login to Citibank - do a bpay payment from CC account to ATO…
this way the surcharge is avoided but Citibank is not giving points as its an ATO transaction…
hmm… bpay from cc
does this trick works for all that charges surcharges on payment funded by cc ?
You can pay the ATO using Amex I believe.
However there's a surcharge and Amex have lower earn rates on government spend.
Not worth it using my calculations
I've heard of a loophole where you can buy iTunes cards with AMEX then use them to pay the ATO.
Yea and you can do it over the phone. So convenient.
Most, if not all cards, don't pay any points on BPay transactions - its not just to the ATO; but any bill through BPay. Hence, I always pay direct using the vendors cc facility or preferably, if they have paypal.
Log into ATO first to see IF you can even pay with a CC.
