I’ve written about Plastiq in the past, but in case you have missed it – it is a payment processing site that allows you to pay bills via credit card. You can use it to pay bills such as rent, car loans, utilities, school tuition, taxes, landscaper, plumber, etc.! You can also use it to…
Plastiq allows you to pay bills with a credit card where the merchant wouldn’t accept credit card otherwise. While there is a fee to use this payment processing system, if you use the right credit card you can actually come out ahead! For example, right now the Chase Ink Preferring is coding Plastiq as 3x points!
Plastiq is an awesome way to earn points and miles by using a credit card to pay bills where you typically couldn’t use a credit card to pay direct.

While paying this fee usually isn’t worth it for your regular…
Yesterday I wrote a post describing how I used the online bill-pay service Plastiq to meet minimum spend on a new credit card I applied for a few months ago. Typically this site charges a 2.5% service fee when you use an American Express, Visa, Mastercard, or Discover card to send payment to pay a bill.…
Back in January I applied for the SimplyCash Plus® Business Credit Card from American Express. At that time they were offering their highest sign up offer to date where you could earn up to $500 cash back. While this was a great offer, the minimum spend requirement was incredibly high – $15,000 (although you had 6 months…
My passion (and obsession!) for travel deals and points started over nine years ago the day I graduated college and took a job in management consulting. I’d spend every Monday through Thursday hotel hoping and embarking on long plane rides just to earn the extra points and miles.
