ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

[jbman]

Divipay sounds interesting but a lot of work? I'm now stuck with $1,200 of online Wish cards.

Current state of affairs they will lock your account trying to load it up with pre paid cards

GMOH yes you can be more worldly with that approach.

I was about to comment that I saw $200 V1s in Officeworks yesterday ($7.95) which would had have halved the work required, but it's a moot point now, unfortunately.(I know Oworks aren't part of Wollies, but players may have been able to pre-order $200 cards.)

Fees are too high for most players as well. Unless someone knows of a way to get coles vouchers at 5% off ($197.55 per $200 card, getting paid to earn points).

I got a welcome call from Divipay today. Mentioned my card not working they said they have reached their limit (lots of payments apparently) with their provider and it will be reset tomorrow.

Given they don’t get paid for loads from our source CCs until a few days later and they’ve given us credit to spend immediately, they’re effectively extending us credit with the mismatch.

Noticed I have a small tax bill to pay, is the eftpos card and auspost still an option? I need some more KrisFlyer points and can get a few with the Edge this way.

Finally my darling Mrs QF WP understands the reasons for me wanting to use my business CC to pay all bills including ATO.

Pity it's a Macquarie Hilton Visa, but at least I'll be Hilton Diamond for the foreseeable future.

Better still buy her a ticket on SQ in Business to Singapore and if she likes it move to the dragon Visa CC. Easy redemption tickets will get her moving.
Do not try Macquarie for ATO.

We're only a small business cove, no chance of earning that many points

Care to expand on your comment?

I think that Macquarie CC will pay zero points on ATO QF WP. Try it for say $100 to confirm that it pays zilch.

Macquarie stopped ATO rewards last April. Dragon is still paying - às recently as 48 hours ago for me .

The Macquarie Hilton CC has never paid points, thus my comment

The spend does go towards my $40K cap for Hilton Diamond status. I'll have Suites for another year...

That is good to know that ATO spend counts towards the 40K to get to Diamond! The best time to put 40K on your Macquarie card is from early April (new Hilton year) as quickly as possible. When you hit 40K spend, you will get Diamond for the remainder of that year, the following year, and up to 31st March the 3rd year

Doesn't the year start on January 1st and end on December 31st for the purpose of determining elite status? IME the status goes through to the end of March but is based on the stay/earn from the calendar year.

Mrscove comped a friend to London so I did a Kris Miles earner today to more than replace those miles.

Has anyone made successful multiple payments (1 a day) to the ATO with their dragon? I have a $23,000 tax bill, but not that big a limit and I think I saw a post somewhere that any single transaction over a certain amount might result in your card being cancelled?
Or I could split it and make a half payment through Reward Pay (if I could work out how to add the ATO as a payee )

Why not make a payment, recharge and repeat over multiple days?

My CC is still in credit as I loaded a bit too much onto it. Was not a problem paying the fiscal fiend for more than the credit limit.

Thanks everyone - have added ATO to my Reward Pay! Will try paying all on Visa and see how I go this time.
