RewardPay Alternatives

would I get into trouble if I say, EBP to Bapy my super?

IMO if you're using a personal card to pay i dont think it'll be an issue.

is it just me do I have to enter BSB/acc details everytime i want to pay someone on EBP?
can't find a way to save those details

Yes it is a PITA - I cannot believe these deets cannot be saved when you input Biller manually first time

 

[Bell21]

Yep, that was one nice thing about RP

So EBP earns .825 pts via St G / $1 spend at cost .8c / $1 - how does ferni’s service compare?

Thought so - bit of streamlined Admin and EBP not so onerous - would prefer not to have to do it but my love of pts overrides that

All EBP users - email feedback to EBP pls - request auto save / auto population of fields for frequent Billers - we might get there eventually

Just signed up for EBP - the site talks about top up: do I need to have funds in their account or do they just help themselves to my credit card when I want to pay a bill?

 

[Bell21]

The latter (ie help themselves)

It depends on how you want to do it. I usually manually top up, at which point they will take it from the balance not the card (if you have enough in balance to cover the bill). This is key if you need to choose which card to pay using, rather than EBP just drawing on the default card. Just be aware that they recently added a feature of a savings account which if funded will not show in your bill balance - it's quite confusing. Don't fund your savings account if you want to pay bills.

I never have and never will retain a balance in EBP - so much easier to reconcile transaction by transaction - but of course everybody different.

Not sure what you mean. There are 2 options:

1. Add bill, no balance. Amount gets deducted from a single card (default card)
2. Add bill, manually top-up the bill amount. You can choose which card (Dragon, ANZ, etc)

I don't think anyone is suggesting you would retain a balance.

OK sorry I thought you were suggesting you retain a balance in EBP
