Hi All,
Would appreciate a sounding board on this situation.
County fee for using credit card for property tax payment is 2.5%.
We have $7500 of total property tax payments coming up in a couple of days. $7500 x 0.025 = $187.50 total cost via credit card (tax deductible as expense since they are rental houses?).
We use the Chase Sapphire Reserve card for most purchases - and then transfer to United for air travel. $7500 = 7500 points for air travel. Best single leg points on United is 30,000 points. 7,500/30,000 = best case 1/4 of one leg of one flight.
Net - I can't come up with a good reason to pay the fee to get the points - UNLESS I combine it with signing up for another credit card that has a sign up bonus.
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
