$200 fee ? For me it was $75. You were missing the point. They GIVE YOU $840 when you get the card and spend $4000. Yea, it's a $95/yr fee + 2.5% charge from Sumter County, that IS AWFUL but you net FREE ~$685 or so. THEN YOU CANCEL THE CARD. Yea, $95 fee is terrible since you can get 2% cards for free. You just don't renew it after year 1. There are dozens of credit card deals like that out there but not quite like that one.

Yea, I can see $8G's taxes in some areas around here but it certainly isn't "typical" as posted by the OP.

[QUOTE=FG111;1852601]At least in Sumter County, starting today on 10/26/2020, you will be able to view and pay your 2020 tax bill and if paid in full by November 30, a 4% discount is applied.
Currently Chase is offering 80,000 Bonus Points ($1,000 towards travel) w/ $4,000 spent on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening for the Chase Sapphire Preferredยฎ Card. Annual fee is $95. Excellent credit is required. The typical $8000 tax bill would incur a $200 credit card convenience fee charged by the county. Many other credit cards are posting similar deals, check slickdealsdotnet. ( $300 cost for $1000 travel credits. ) For those of us who are without an escrow account, would paying your taxes with a credit card make sense?[/QUOTE My wife and I just put away a specific amount each month for our tax bill and Home Owners Insurance bill. Works out find and most times we even get a little refund from our tax and insurance fund. Not about to pay some third party 100's of dollars to pay a bill when there's a much more sensible way of handling it. |

The tax people are charging you what the credit card people are charging them. Don't want to pay the fee? Pay another way.

I will pay mine on the very last day via check. I earn more than 4% leaving the money invested.

If someone handed you an $850 cash or $1000 in travel gift if you paid the tax folks CC provider a $200 fee (in your case, but much less or much more for others) by using a credit card to pay your taxes would you accept that gift or refuse it?

Was wondering if anyone would get the reference.
Excuse me while I turn very slowly |

Are you aware every time you open or close a credit card that it affects your FICO score? Did you know that even if you donโt use credit your FICO score even affects your insurance rates? Just an observation and not a judgement on what one should do.

So YES you are absolutely correct in some cases but at "our" age with long time established credit and good existing FICO it makes little or no difference but of course every person is different so YMMV.
