Plastiq has a new promotion that charges you lower fees if you schedule three mortgage payments by the end of the year and pay with a Mastercard. This is a quick way to complete spending from your couch on credit card if you’re working towards a bonus, or even make a few bucks while paying your bills.
Plastiq Mastercard Promo
Schedule 3 or more mortgage payments with your Mastercard by end of this year, and get a rebate on the first 3 payments so that your effective Plastiq fee is 1.5%. You can earn up to $200 back in rebate. After your third payment processes, a check will be sent by January 5, 2018.
For a payment to qualify, please make sure that you:
- Schedule 3 or more monthly mortgage payments by checking the box next to recurring.
- Use a Mastercard.
- Set up the first 3 payments so they are set to process between September 5, 2017 and December 31, 2017 11:59 p.m. EDT.
- Look for a notification of eligibility on the payment review screen.
See promotion page for more information.
How it Works
The effective Plastiq fee of a payment is the final fee amount you pay after FFDs & other promotions are applied. For example, if you schedule 3 mortgage payments of $1,000 and…
| FFDS APPLIED | PAY A FEE OF | YOUR EFFECTIVE PLASTIQ FEE IS | TO BRING THE PLASTIQ FEE DOWN TO 1.5%, YOU WOULD RECEIVE A REBATE OF |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | $75 | 2.5% | $30 |
| 600 | $60 (FFDs were applied) | 2.0% | $15 |
| 1,200 | $45 (FFDs were applied) | 1.5% | $0 |
Guru’s Wrap-Up
The normal processing fee for using a Mastercard to pay your mortgage is 2.5% at Plastiq, but with this promotion you can pay only 1.5%. However, it is limited to a $200 rebate in total, so your total payments through this promotion shouldn’t go over $20,000 in order to get that 1.5% fee. This could be an opportunity for some quick spending, or a small money maker if you use a Mastercard that earns more that 1.5%, such as Citi Double Cash Back.
If you don’y have a Plastiq account, you can sign up through my referral and earn $500 fee free dollars. That means that you can pay a $500 bill with a credit card, and you won’t get charged any fees.
