[joon8887]

Has anyone had issues with paying ATO Tax using US amex? (via Sniip or other third party)?
You still get full points?

I used US amex to pay directly and never had an issue, most when I needed to meet a minimum spend.

Do you know if this is on a particular card or all cards? Any links with more details?

Looks like the long running rumors about HSBC USA were correct.

Maybe last chance to jump on board Premier for those who qualify & want a US bank account without setting foot in the US unless that gate has already been shut.

Thanks for the heads up. $95.00 for 100k chase points seems like a great deal.

I just got an email from Transferwise saying the Amex US direct debit has been rejected, but it is a duplicate transaction from a week ago when everything went through. I logged into the Amex US website and there was no scheduled payment for today, so I am at a loss about what happened, anyone had this happen before where Amex seemingly tried to do a duplicate direct debit a week after it already happened?

Same for me. Had 4 failed direct debits which has already been paid successfully weeks back.

Mine too. Just had $1000 taken away from my AUD account. I didnt set up any direct debit though

Is wise getting hacked

 

[pyusha]

Looks like an issue with wise. Numerous complaints on their Twitter handle. Seems it has been resolved and any funds taken should be reversed by now.

Oh. So a Wise problem.

Also, regarding the Amex direct debits, above, I have been using my Wise USD account to pay Amex through Evolve Bank. Are some setting up an Amex direct debit?

 

[pyusha]

I have setup direct debits on all my cards with Wise, aka the Evolve bank account. Have been using for couple of months and the process is seamless.

I entered my Wise USD account details on the Amex US website, then I turn on autopay, it pretty much acts as a direct debit would in Australia.

Good to find out about this, I have now done the same (to pay the full statement balance each month). So, will see how it goes next month,
