ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

[cove]

Used our sons dragon CCs this time.
Have some water rates to pay and it will be over shortly.
Thank you js.

Have decided to prepay using credit limits on our cards as a finale. Don’t want any regrets.

Paid next 3 quarter tax in advance - only getting .5 % on the TD so no loss.
Was good while it lasted.
I still don't get it
Surely the charge rate could simply have been increased ?
Wonder how many cards get culled ??
Hopefully the alternative bovine option works

I see there is a NAB card being promoted by QANTAS Business that has a sign on bonus of 100k pts and points for paying ATO! So there’s still one left!

NAB Business card, so not for retail customers

Is it Wednesday COB that dragon closes off on this?

No Tuesday is last day I think. You could pay on Wednesday if you want to enrich Westpac/St George shareholders.
Better not try Wednesday is what i am thinking even though we are Westpac shareholders.
We finished ours on Sunday to allow for processing delays.

Thanks. My credit onto the card had better come though soon then. (Paying for a friend).

How many points per dollar ?

Probably worth keeping such things to private messages or deleting posts after a short period.

I had a quick look and its an advertised feature. 1.25 points per dollar spend. 3:1 points transfer to KF and AM.

Pay via BPay makes it worthwhile for me. The problem would be transferring all Amplify points to KF to close my Dragon card and then having them expire on me.

How many points per dollar ?

About 0.66 points per dollar with the NAB Qantas business cards, capped at $50k spend per statement period.

Does this work for the personal cards?

No. Amex are the only personal cards that advertise paying points on ATO directly, AFAIK.

There is another personal card, however, that will still work using the method outlined above.

It clearly advertised on their website in the business section, so not sure if it's a big deal.

Maybe, maybe not. Most cards gave points on ATO transactions until the banks worked out it was costing money.

If you’re getting points for free, the more it gets used, the faster the loophole will be closed.

Citibank used to, but that was shut down mannnnnnnnnny years ago.

Noticed a promotion for Sniip, which offers 1.5% for paying with local Visa/MC/Amex and 3% for international Visa/MC (that seems to include GST) for ATO payments and other bills. I couldn't see that it had been mentioned before so I thought I'd post about it.
