Hi there,

Quickly - Just paying an ATO bill with my Amex Velocity card (Platinum) and wanted to know as it varies with purchases...

If you have an ATO bill of $1000.00 will you get 1000 velocity points? 1:1 ratio? Or is there a bonus/double?

Cheers.

Matt.

You'll only earn 500, so you need to make sure the Amex surcharge is worth it.

AS long as the after tax cost of paying with Amex is less than the value you can get with 8,500, go for it...
