RewardPay Alternatives

pay,com.au at the moment is quite bare bones, no BPAY or ABA payments available yet

Yes, I've been using Qantas Mastercard for their 0.77%+GST intro rate for eft and AMEX 1.5% on SNIIP for BPAY.
 
Was anyone still using bluechain? It seems to have died, can't log in to web portal anymore and the app has been showing an error when you try to initiate a payment for some time now.
 
I haven't been able to use them either. I'm back to using B2BPay - though I'm looking around. Have been using Credit Rewards for BPay payments. As soon as their direct credit facility goes live, I will switch the rest of my payments to Credit rewards.

Have used Sniip a little but can't do direct bank transfers yet and anything that works on the DEFT platform is blocked - presumably because Macquarie would rather we put it through DEFT directly to attract their unrealistically high AMEX fees on DEFT proper.

Still using Yakpay for visa payments.

Pay.com.au is still offering a 3 month intro rate that is less than Yak. Sniip has been good, initially they were blocking some BPAY payees, but after sending a message through the app, they then approve those payees.

Thanks for the heads up. Will stick with Yakpay, not much in it for the promo rate, and not keen on their monthly fee model. Not really worth the signup process for 3 months.
 
Until 30 June, YakPay is offering 2QF points for every $7 paid to the ATO in addition to what you get from your credit card:

"Dear Jacques,

You're one step away from earning double bonus points on credit card payments to the ATO from now until June 30, 2021 via the Yak Pay portal..."

Not sure if it is a targeted or general offer.

Hi Jacques,


This is a general offer for all clients linked to Qantas Business Rewards within our system, this includes new clients signing up and linking themselves to the QBR Reward Program as well. It's worth noting, these points are on top of the normal points earned associated with your credit cards reward program.

Hey Yak, while you're here, when will your last bonus points offer (50K QBR for new customers who paid $10k+ to credit cards last month) be fulfilled?

It's nice to see other bonus offers come to light for existing customers, but until what was advertised during the last offer period has been provided, I'm quite reluctant to continue processing payments not knowing if/when what has been advertised will be provided.

Completely understand your concern, we've just finished establishing who exactly was eligible for those bonus points for the now complete QBR promotion. These points will be allocated to the QBR accounts early next week (Monday or Tuesday).
 
I've got a few quarterly strata bills and they all use DEFT, which unfortunately cannot use Sniip. Would next best option would be Yakpay (Visa) at 1.1%? And any other bills including ATO, which takes BPAY, option would to be using Amex via Sniip? I've only got either ANZ Black, Coles Mastercard, Amex Explorer, Amex Hilton Aspire to use.

Bluechain is gone (at least for now). In voluntary administration/liquidation:

I got an email today from pay.com.au informing that they've launched a new "flexible rewards program" called PayRewards. This program partners with Qantas Business Rewards and they're promising to add more partnerships soon.

Basically, you pay an extra 1% on top of the usual fee to earn 1 PayPoint per $1 spent, or 1.8% for 2 PayPoints per $1. PayPoints convert to Qantas Business Rewards Points at a 2.5:1 rate.

This doesn't seem like amazing value overall as you're basically paying 2.5 cents per QBR point. Although I will give it a go on a $1,000 bill because they're also giving 5,000 bonus points (worth 2,000 Qantas points) to the first 300 customers to make a PayRewards transaction over $1,000 until 30 September 2021.

If they introduced a partnership with KrisFlyer in the future and/or improved the transfer rate to 2 PayPoints = 1 Qantas point, then I might be a bit more interested ;)

Seemingly to match the extras on Yak?

Has there been any discussion about what would happen if any of these platforms folded whilst in possession of one's funds, prior to paying the recipient? Would a credit card reversal be in order?
