How do I go about doing this? Recommended?
"TAX TIME - Anyone paying by Credit Card" Is it just me or does this just seem like a way to dig yourself deeper? I'm sure they nail you with extra fees for this. Check the IRS web site and they'll gladly tell you.
I was going to until I saw there were transaction fees. Was wanting some "freebie" FF miles. Sent the check off a few weeks ago.
I'd also thin you'd be paying a convenience fee as credit card companies tack on a discount fee (%) to their merchants...You'd end up paying more than you owe for your taxes due to this...(assuming)
Hm. Could you pay your taxes with a credit card, then dispute the charges because you didn't get what you expected for your money??? -R
If I can get a clear answer from Amex...Read: Anyone here work for them??... I would!!! the 2.5% for almost 500,000 FF miles would make it worth it to me. Hell that would be at least three trips to Thailand!!!! DrS
DrS The surcharge of 2.5% would be $12.5K(?), the AE FF miles are only transferred at 80%(?), so you would get 400K miles. Is that worth it?
If you use your AMEX to pay for your income taxes, you get that 2.5% surcharge added PLUS you do get the FF miles too.
my coworkers also laughed when I pitched the idea of a wireless company 2+ years ago, they laughed in my face. I laughed with them and now I'm crying because I run that company now and have a F- that I can't even drive because I have too much work and instead I waste my time on F- chat.
I used my credit card to pay part of my taxes, United airlines was offering 2 miles for every dollar spent, i earnt 100,000 air miles on one card, & another 42000 miles on another card, 142000 airmiles total, that cost me $1775.00 in commision, with those 142000 air miles, i purchased two 1st class airline tickets to Venice Italy in June for 10 days of R&R, i did have to use 58000 miles from my united air miles account, but the moral is, i was able to get 2 1st class round trip tickets to Europe for $1775.00, if i had to purchase those tickets, they would have cost me over $30,000.00 When the bill comes in, i'll send them a check, so to be fare, it was a great offer for me, but 95% of people, it's not.
