ATO Credit Card Points Summary

[alexbs]

Hi All,

Hope this is not seen as doubling up or a waste of time, but I have been trying to get a clear list of which Cards allow ATO payments for points and which don't - have not been able to find it. Ringing up is useless, as they generally do not give you a straight answer.

So I thought we could just start a simple list:-

Citibank - no points on ATO
Amex - 0.5 points per dollar on ATO
Westpac - full points per dollar on ATO
CBA - ??
HSBC - I think no points for ATO ??
Bankwest - ??
NAB - ??
Investec - ??

If the more knowledgeable people can fill in the gaps, this would really help me (and I am sure lots of other people).

What you all think ?

Bankwest - full points per dollar on ATO
NAB - full points per dollar on ATO
Investec - ?? No idea

Just fill out those question marks.

It may have changed since, but I got 1pt/$ with my HSBC card when I last paid my tax in May.

Bankwest is 1 for 1 up to 200,000 points per year.

Investec is a rebranded Citibank so no

can anyone advise if the Woolies EDR Qantas card earns for ATO payments? From what I understand it's backed by HSBC so should accrue according to the posts above.
Cheers,

We do get points with ATO spend on it. Just be careful you don't weight it too heavily with ATO vs normal spend as there are reports of the card being cancelled where it appears heavy ATO spend was incurred.

Good post.

Far cry from the lambasting I received on another thread when I dared ask if a particular card earns point...

Thank you

P.S. I can also confirm that HSBC visa also earns full points with ATO and other gov entities.

Westpac Black MasterCards pay 0.625 points per dollar and their Black Amex pays 1.5 points per dollar and both are uncapped.
The Platinum Westpac Kris Flyer pays 0.5 points per dollar on the Visa and 1.5 points per dollar on Amex and those points transfer monthly to the Kris Flyer account. These cards are uncapped.

Have an ANZ Business One which earns full points on ATO but is only 0.25 points per $ when transferring to my Velocity account via the ANZ portal. If anyone has a tip to avoid this I'd love to hear it.

Yes get some titanium bladed 3M scissors and terminate that dud. I guess you now know which scissors I really like.

Ugh.... I've got some cards that are going to require these, this thread has just informed me that Investec is rebranded Citibank! YUK

I just love using scissors on dud credit cards.

 

[Powerballsam]

Do you like the double cut or do you go for the scorched earth cuts?

Double cut and then recycle responsibly.

Just got a nice 45k velocity points from my NAB velocity platinum card payment to the ATO, so glad I chose this card.
