I am considering this card solely for the purpose of making quarterly federal estimated income tax payments. I have searched this thread and learned that tax payments using this card do or should earn SkyPesos. My payments could vary from $5K to $20K. Does anybody have experience making these payment, and if so what were those experiences? The card and account would have little to no other activity. Thanks in advance.

No love for me. Got through the verification stage and when going to the funding stage an error occurred and it said I would have to log in and fund the account. There was obviously no way for me to log in. I received an email saying the account had been approved and after funding I would receive a welcome package. The last four numbers of the account were displayed. I live in California and have an address issue. We do not receive mail at our physical address and the USPS does not recognize the physical address. We have to use the physical address for verification and credit check purposes. We then change the address to our P O Box. When I called today to straighten out the issues I found that I was SOL. Note on my profile that I could not have a relationship with Sun Trust, EVER! No reason, no appeal, nada. Oh well.

Terrible Experience
I opened a ST checking account with the purpose of using their debit card to pay income tax (both 2012 due and 2013 estimated) and garner Delta Skymiles. I opened the account online. I linked the account to another checking account successfully. The transfer of the initial $100 to fund the account was successful. Meantime I'm getting welcome emails and materials as appropriate. I went to transfer $3000 to ST to park the cash and avoid monthly fees. The $3k was successully taken from the other checking account but never posted in my ST account. Shortly thereafter the fraud department at ST closed my ST account because I do not live in their service area (I live in WI). It would be great if their online application process screened this. The $100 was returned to me via check. The $3000 took 6 weeks (as ST claimed they didn't receive it, though it was out of the other bank) and MANY phone calls to get my money back. I rue the day I embraced this idea. Alls well that end's well, I'm just out hours of my time...

I am getting significantly lower miles (~1000-2000) miles lower every month for the last 3 months. Has anybody else noticed this?
The purchases I am counting are either mentioned as 'POINT OF SALE DEBIT' or 'CHECK CARD PURCHASES'. Not sure why they won't count

I have no idea how they calculate the miles! My miles, too, are always off by 1K to 2K. But I don't plan on bringing it to anyones attention at ST or DL.
