If you're planning to pay taxes by credit card this year, now is the time to set up your strategy—not the week before tax day.
Every year, I see posts from people whose tax payment plans went sideways at the last minute. A declined charge, payments that didn't post, a payment that went to the wrong card—these problems are stressful on their own, but they're especially problematic when you're troubleshooting them on tax day. Listen in as I walk through the five key considerations for turning tax payments into points stress-free, plus the specific pitfalls that trip people up if they don't know to expect them.
I cover everything from creating your most powerful points-earning plan and timing your credit card applications correctly, to navigating the logistics of payment platforms and avoiding the PayPal mistakes that cost people thousands of points. I also share what you need to know about using Amex cards for tax payments, including why you should never use the virtual card number and how to access spend bonuses that make large tax bills even more lucrative for points earning.
Whether you're paying a few thousand or multiple six figures in taxes, this episode gives you the framework to maximize your points while avoiding the mistakes that derail so many people's tax payment strategies each year.
