This is great. One of the examples they use is rent, which could add up to quite a bit...

Very interesting... I wonder if it could be used for this... would love to use a CC to pay rent with no additional fees...

Not getting it,don't They warn about cash advance??

joeyjava · « **Reply #6 on:** May 24, 2011, 06:08:37 PM »

just as a clarification would you be able to pay off one cc thru another using this or would it still register as a balance transfer??

I've set up a $50 rent payment to myself for the 3rd of June (first available date) and it says it will charge my credit card (has cash advance limit set to $0) on the 29th... if this works it will be awesome

Sent them an email asking about cash advances and got the following response:

Hi,

We code all transactions as ecommerce transactions and we have yet to hear, or see, any user transactions result in a cash advance fee. That being said, each credit card issuer is different and we cannot guarantee that it won't happen.

Best,
The PayDivvy Team

Any transaction limit?
Any monthly/yearly limit?

So essentially, among the many possible benefits of this site is paying one's rent via cc with no fees?

FWIU there has to be a recepient account set up as well.

@AsherO
its seems that they charge your card 5 days or more prior to the payment date,that's how they make money, its just like setting up payees with a bank, only instead of pulling from your bank account, they pull from your CC. it looks like they mail a check to the recipient

If their business model is based on that five day spread they'll be hard pressed to make a profit. Processing fees are 2-3%, and they a five day spread to compensate for that?

I was thinking the same thing... I can't see how they'll ever make money...

@am32:

Interesting... In the above video the CEO mentions a 3.5% fee for paying by CC.
