We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

Targeted: Cheaper 1.25% Fees on Plastiq Payments With a Mastercard

  • Million Mile Secrets

    • Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Here’s an easy way to meet minimum spending requirements, or make a little cash for doing nothing other than paying your bills.  Check your email to see if you were targeted.

    When you make a Plastiq payment by October 31, 2018, and pay the 2.5% fee, you’ll get 1 fee-free dollar to use later for every dollar you spend!  This brings the fee down to 1.25% overall (pay 2.5% now, then 0% later).

    If you have a Mastercard you need to spend with to earn a sign-up bonus, or a 2% cash back Mastercard, you can come out ahead with this promotion.

    Make Some Cash for Paying Bills With Plastiq’s Latest Mastercard Promotion

    I’ll share how it works!

    Here’s a nice deal if you got the targeted email.  Look for the subject line “Earn FFDs when you pay with Mastercard.”

    When you use a Mastercard to make a Plastiq payment through October 31, 2018, you’ll get 1 fee-free dollar for every $1 you spend, if you pay the 2.5% fee up-front.

    The fee-free dollars will post to your account on November 1, 2018.  So you don’t have to wait long to get your reward.

    This Is a Great Deal for Targeted Folks With Mastercards

    The fee effectively drops to 1.25% because you pay the 2.5% fee now, then get 0% fees on the same dollar amount later.  If you were planning to make payments anyway, you might consider using a Mastercard to take advantage of this deal before it’s over.

    There doesn’t seem to be a limit on how many fee-free dollars you can earn with this promotion.  So if you’re looking to meet the minimum spending requirements on a new Mastercard, this could be an easy way.

    Which Cards Work for This Deal?

    You can use any Mastercard credit card – not a debit or pre-paid card.  Barclays and Citi issue lots of Mastercards, and many have decent-sized minimum spending requirements.

    For example, you can earn:

    Chase also has the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card, which is a Mastercard.

    Did you get the offer email?  If so, will you pay a few bills through Plastiq to earn rewards?
