So this goes back to the "which card to use for everyday spend" theme but assuming:
(1) You want or need to use a credit card to pay (don't have cash sitting around)
(2) You don't want to play the bluebird, giftcard, whatever game
(3) You don't want to set up a Suntrust checking account (which would not allow you to finance the taxes)
(4) You don't need to hit a threshhold spending bonus for a new credit card
(5) You want to maximize the value of miles/points received from tax payments
What is the best credit card in terms of ROI?
Chase Southwest visa returns 1.67%. SPG Amex returns 1 point/$1 which can usually be leveraged to 2%+ return - any other thoughts?
