Guru’s Wrap-Up
Paying through Plastiq doesn’t always make sense since they charge a 2.5% fee for credit cards and 1% for debit cards. So it’s usually more about being an easy option than a profitable one. This new promotion should make it profitable though if you were targeted and have a card that earns at least 2%.
If you’ve never tried Plastiq you can sign up through my referral and you get $500 in fee-free spending. That means that you can pay any bill up to $500 with a credit card with no fee.
