    If ATO payments will get CC Rewards; then this is a brilliant update. Whats the catch? How does Sniip make money?

    • pjetson on 02/10/2019 - 13:24

      on the majority of bills

      Although perhaps not the ones you can't get points on already?

    • CyberMurning on 19/10/2022 - 19:04

      Because you pay something to sniip

  • MrHyde on 02/10/2019 - 12:41

    Plus I get "My device is not compatible with this app" .. I've got a Redmi Note 5 Pro

    • nocure on 02/10/2019 - 13:28

      Works on RN3

  • dcep on 02/10/2019 - 12:43

    so you can pay all via CC without incurring surcharge ?

    • CyberMurning on 19/10/2022 - 19:05

      Sniip charges something

  • grimwagon on 02/10/2019 - 12:47

    How is this any different / better than using 'Post Bill Pay' to pay bills with credit cards / paypal->AMEX

    • dcep on 02/10/2019 - 13:15

      can't find rego / bodycorp / rates / water/ on post bill pay

        Even DEFT only charges 1.5% for Visa/MC credit cards for my strata fee. No point going through them lol

        • Garrettau on 20/10/2019 - 19:31

          No points? Why? It’s normal credit card payment, not BAPY.

    • ozbargainsam on 17/12/2021 - 14:22

      Can you link where you got that from?

      This PDS days 1.5% too https://sniip.com/product-disclosure-statement/

      The app and their FAQ says Amex is 1.5% (and I paid recently with 1.5%).

        I dont remember posting this, and the PDS says it was updated in August 2019 so before my post, but there is more changes. I'm going to assume pre August 2019 the fees were what I put up and were from the old PDS!

        1.5% on amex is much better. An I'll look into it a bit further now. My cards giving me 2.2 points at the moment so a bit closer

        Just had a look and one of my largest suppliers is charging me 1.85% + GST so gonna give it a crack.

        • Soluble on 19/12/2021 - 16:29

          Doesn't work for my one major supplier. Back to CDC card !

          • daft009 on 19/12/2021 - 20:38

            @Soluble: Did you request sniip to add the BPay details of this supplier of yours?

            They have added some for me in the past

  • Neoika on 20/10/2019 - 18:09

    It is similar to easybillpay, but has surcharge from scratch. I am pretty sure they will lower surcharge threshold when they find so few people bother to use this service.

  • CyberMurning on 25/02/2021 - 21:32

    i tried this to pay council hoping citibank will not see it as council, but the citibank statement is showing Liverpool
    wtf ???? i thought the purpose of using this is we pay sniip and sniip pays the bill ? so the bank will see we make payment to a service not government

  • capslock janitor on 10/12/2021 - 13:10

    Not working to pay my Credit card bill 28 Degrees, app says "Biller not currently available" ??

    • daft009 on 12/12/2021 - 06:54

      You can't pay credit with credit normally. They'll add the biller if it's allowed

      • capslock janitor on 17/12/2021 - 12:45

        doesnt work w/ Coles CC bill neither sighh

        • daft009 on 17/12/2021 - 13:15

          Paying credit with credit is manufacturing points so usually not allowed

          • capslock janitor on 17/12/2021 - 13:25

            @daft009: bit diff, tryna use my Prepaid/debit to pay off my credit statement

            • daft009 on 17/12/2021 - 14:03

              @capslock janitor: I understand but that prepaid card could've/would've been bought by a creditcard in the first place
              which is why they don't like it.

              it used to very easy 4-5yrs ago, but not very now

              • capslock janitor on 17/12/2021 - 14:07

                @daft009: they haven't blocked the same prepaid/debit to other billers tho.

                seems like a restriction on credit provider bills.

                but think of it this way -
                if we can already use my prepaid/debit to pay off the credit bill via BPAY, then why shouldnt it be able to just go thru a middleman (Sniip) too?

  • daft009 on 12/12/2021 - 06:55

    Love sniip with my Amex
