bbqwer YES you will earn 3pts Altitude Black.

Does that mean that Westpac altitude black earns 1.5 QF points per dollar on the Amex ?

Westpac altitude black do earn points at ATO payment ( instead of 3 , you will be 1.5 ) which is 0.75 KF points for me.

Correct and 0.5 on the QF/Earth variant.

Correction: 0.75 only on the Amex, nix on the MC

It was in relation to Australia Post spend, a bit OT IMHO.

Yes I don't do that card for ATO now as I have one that works better.

Which is your current card of choice cove, so that we can all prepare for its imminent shutdown based on your ATO spend?

Citi US really love me so I think AA points are pretty good for first class rides between London, New York and Los Angeles. I expect my account to be lost amongst millions of credit cards in America and the 0.42% fee is nice.

Extending this out a bit is there a way to pay your tax at the post office with a westpac altitude black Amex and get full points ?

Wetspac Altitude Black and the old Earth Black both earn QF points for ATO payments, they are just 50% of the previous earn rate. For example, I used to get 1.5 pts per dollar for ATO payments on my Westpac Earth Black Amex. It is now .75 pts per dollar. Still 1.5 pts for everything else, just the ATO earn rate has been halved. So I have just used my NAB Premium Rewards card for my latest ATO payments and and am waiting anxiously to see if the points post :shock:

Don't know if CCs qualify as EFTPOS and the fact it doesn't say credit card, has me a bit skeptical. Hope I am wrong though...

Eftpos = Savings or Cheque accounts, not credit accounts.

That was my thinking too ninja - if CC's were allowed they would've been specified I'm guessing.

is there any reason that they wouldn't?

Seems to be a bit of debate around whether NAB is still paying 1.5 QF points per dollar on Amex spend with ATO. First time I have used this card for ATO, having previously used the (now 50% reduced earn rate) Westpac Earth Black, so I have nothing to go by one way or the other.:?:

You won't get a thank you from the ATO even if they are your secret 49% partner this year.
Well thank you everyone who made a payment to allow the country to keep running.
