The Beem It App now offers fee-free BPAY bill payment with credit cards.

Installed Beem it app long time ago while they have referral cash back but not lately

Recently downloaded the Sniip app due to the AMEX $30 cashback deal and found that the 1.5% credit card fee doesn't worth using it for regular bill pay purpose

Today opened the Beem it app and checked now the app accept Credit Cards (Visa / Master) which they initially doesn't

They also allow using Credit Cards to pay your bill with BPay without transaction fee and you probably still earn credit card rewards points of the spending

          Yeah, even a crappy rewards card should give a return of more than 0.05%.

          I've since transferred about 16k to shares, which is odd, since it seems to exceed that monthly limit

          Thanks, it's good to know when the T&Cs aren't necessarily enforced :)

        Awesome to hear thank you

      • hotdish on 08/12/2021 - 18:33

        How could you tell if your transaction earnt point? With my ANZ FF CC (platinum) I see a monthly summary of points, but not an itemised transaction by transaction summary. Not even the statement displays it.

        • Reveen on 09/12/2021 - 02:32

          Register for access to ANZ Rewards.

            @Reveen: Thanks for the suggestion. That is only applicable for the ANZ Rewards branded cards, not the ANZ Qantas/FF cards - seperate products. I am a fan of the ANZ rewards platform, easy to see points, transaction by transaction. I just ended up ringing ANZ to run through some transactions and they confirmed that my test $10 Beemit transaction (to the ATO) had registered points.

    • Yola on 10/03/2022 - 11:01

      So if you do this you do not incur the surcharge from the ATO?

  • bloomer on 31/01/2022 - 15:09

    Has anyone successfully used a Westpac card and earned points?

    And to help others, I've used two Citibank-issued cards (Citi and Coles) successfully to earn points.

    • arctan on 12/03/2022 - 15:12

      Yeah it looks like only Citibank issued cards work at the moment

    • hiaaron on 23/04/2023 - 22:35

      How do you tell whether you received the points or not? I am using a Citibank credit card a lot so I can't really tell by looking at the point balance. Also neither the reward summary screen nor the statement tells which transaction earned which point.

  • Craze on 05/02/2022 - 10:39

    Signed up with hopes to pay car rego without fees but rejected with error message "Biller doesn't accept this method of payment". Looks like will have to cop the payment surcharge paying through VicRoads website or BPay through debit account :(

  • tabboy on 07/03/2022 - 16:34

    My tax bill is over $5k, there's a limit of $2k per day, is it still possible to use Beem it to pay it somehow?? Thanks.

    • Yola on 10/03/2022 - 10:59

      Just pay over a few days. I have done this before and it's fine.

  • arctan on 09/03/2022 - 20:00

    Has anyone tried this Bpay with online betting websites (eg TAB and Sportsbet)? Can you deposit through Bpay with credit card without cash advance fees?

      I was having this issue with a Westpac Altitude. I had originally added the card to beem it using a virtual CC (and CVC) from the Westpac app. Payment only processed when I added the physical card details. I did have an ANZ card which wasn't working at all however…

      • Contopaxi on 11/10/2022 - 10:40

        Looks like this is what’s happening with me. Tried to add the digital card details before my card arrived and it doesn’t seem to like it.
        Westpac locked my account also when trying to pay my rates

  • awesomewilly on 29/05/2022 - 21:25

    Adding another datapoint here - paid using my Citibank Rewards card to DEFT for a strata payment - no points. On transaction history in Citibank, comes up as "BEEM IT SYDNEY AU".

    Paid with same cards to Service NSW and received points. On transaction history, comes up as "BEEM IT BEEM.COM.AU"

    No idea why I didn't get points on the DEFT one - I've done the same with an ANZ FF card to DEFT and ANZ awarded the points.

    • b00tyman on 07/08/2022 - 12:38

      How did you get your ANZ FF working? something special you had to do :)

      Just tried both my ANZ FF which is a VISA and also Westpac FF which is a MC, both are not working. Getting error "this card is not accepted by the biller"
      I am pretty Westpac card did work last yr so not sure if something has changed.

      Anyone have any ideas, appreciate if you can share?

      • Yola on 07/08/2022 - 18:28

      No. BeemIt are blocking this card by the issuer ID because Macquarie don’t do EFTPOS. When I contacted BeemIt support, and explained it’s a Visa card because it’s credit and not debit, the only explanation I got is they are blocking Visa cards and I should try another bank that does debit cards.

      Rather annoying, because no-where in the terms I could find they don’t accept credit cards. I don’t even use debit cards anymore, so I don’t have any to try. But it’s a free app and they seem to be using their discretion.

    Can confirm that ANZ FF Black still considers Beemit as normal purchases, classified as "Professional Services (Not Elsewhere Classified).

    I remitted $10 to the ANZ as a test run through Bpay/Beemit and it worked fine. That 5k spend will get knocked off very easily.

    Just remember 2k limit daily for bpay through beemit. if you have issues transferring 2k, just do $1999

    • Misogi Kumagawa on 11/03/2023 - 08:47

            @Misogi Kumagawa: What has this got to do with Commbank? You add your ANZ card to Beemit and then use Beemit's Bpay feature to pay the bill that you want and use the ANZ card that you linked.

            • Yola on 11/03/2023 - 16:36

              @lilkid28: I think she means would a transfer qualify for the spend requirement on a new CC. I don't believe it would it has to be a purchase. Using Beemit is ideal as you do not need to spend on unwanted things but use it to pay bills.

              • Misogi Kumagawa on 11/03/2023 - 16:48

                @Yola: Yeah. When you transfer fund from one card to another it is a purchase. This is how everyone use to use beem it to meet the 5 transactions requirements for bonus interest. Has this changed?

                @lilkid28 Whether your are using your Anz cc to bpay bills or using Anz cc to transfer funds to a debit card, i want to know if these transactions are exactly the same on the Anz cc.

            • Misogi Kumagawa on 11/03/2023 - 17:00

    • richrichie on 27/03/2023 - 22:31

      im pretty sure there are many replies above that says it wont work. You can't really pay credit with another credit in general. Certain bpay biller won't accept payment from credit cards, and credit cards' bpay codes are one of them.
