Hi, Some help please.
I will soon have to pay the ATO in the region of $250K. I went down the interweb rabbit hole as to what
credit card I could use to pay this with but have come back up extremely discombobulated. A few years ago I had a similar bill and was able to use a MasterCard but I know the rules have changed since then and most banks don't allow payments to the ATO with their Visas or MasterCards.I know the fee for paying with an Amex is 1.45% so the fee I would be paying is $3625. This probably isn't worth it if I only end up with 125,000 Qantas FF points but if I was able to get a point per $1 spend then $3625 wouldn't be too bad for 250,000 points which is essentially a business class ticket to Europe.
If I did find a MasterCard that allow payment the fee would be $1750. And then there's the issues that many cards have points caps.....
Any help, suggestions as to what cards I could use or general tips would be much appreciated. I'd hate to see the possibility of all those potential points going to waste!
Many thanks in advance.
