Points for tuition from school that does not accept cc?
« on: August 25, 2016, 09:50:59 PM »
Has anyone successfully been able to earn points for paying tuition to a school that asks for 10 checks upfront in September and does not accept credit card payments?

Ask if they accept GCs (Visa, etc.). If they have a way to spend it, they won't lose anything.

If they take debit cards than you can use PayPal.

Or plastiq for a fee.

Just curious if anyone has any brilliant ideas on this recently, school won't take vgc without charging me 3%, which they would charge me if I gave them a cc. Any ideas are welcomed?

One brilliant idea would be to change schools to one that doesn't charge 3% for paying tuition with credit cards. Preferably to one that charges a lot of tuition so you could rack up a ton of points in no time. Make sure to pay for your kids classmates' tuition as well so you could really rake it in...

Thanks, anyone else with any other ideas?

to reach thresholds other ways and not to rip money out of our schools;
on the other side I would think people would pay more[and] on-time if they just take the CC's (the same reason stores take them)

MS with said CC using VGC (simon)-->MO route (0.00879% fees) and then pay school with normal check from account you deposited MO into

Who cares which account the check is out of at that point?
