I believe daveland is referring to the thread:

...in which DCBob verified receiving 41,000 Skymiles while paying a convenience fee of $3.89.

I believe this situation arises because of a peculiarity in VISA's rules for convenience fees, which are different than Mastercard's rules. Of course there is no assurance that the rules will remain unchanged next tax season.
