I'm thinking of getting AMEX Biz Plat to pay property taxes as well via Plastiq. My tax payments due for Nov/Dec and Feb/Apr are are about $4K each so I wouldn't qualify for the extra 0.5x paying them separately like that. Will it complicate things on the county's side (LA County) if I pay $5K now and $3K+ in the spring?
My second payment isn't due until 4/10, but I'm probably going to make it mid-December, assuming the first payment posts to my property taxes properly.

I don't think there's anything sketchy about Plastiq (not sure about other services). Plastiq is actually one of the preferred suppliers for Amex Canada's Business Gold card (you can choose 3 of these suppliers to earn 2x MR), so they obviously don't have a problem with it.

Just a PSA, you do not need an AMEX business card to be eligible for the 2X points.
I have an AMEX Gold, Platinum, and the Benz Platinum and all three were eligible for the small shops 2X points through Plastiq.

Can anybody comment on CSP + Alliant Credit Union?
I'm getting the potential CA fee warning message... :/

For anyone who might be in a similar situation - I signed up at the end of last month on the MC rent/mortgage promo at 1.75%. I had just converted an AA Plat card to the AT&T Access More, which I wanted to use long-term for this payment, but hadn't received it yet. So I set it up with my Prestige MC for the first month. Just chatted with them today and they were able to switch it from the Prestige to my new AT&T card with the same promo rate for the rest of the scheduled payments.
I hope I am also able to make edits to the payment amount on occasion as my mortgage payment periodically changes due to fluctuations in the escrow withholding amount.

I don't see plastiq listed on the amex small business map. Is the statement on the plastiq site really accurate for this amex promo?

Doesn't hurt to call and ask... I would give it a shot (or three). Not sure how it works with Citi but with Chase at least it's possible to PC the same card very quickly in succession (e.g. CSP to CS to CFU to CF all within a week or two).

I used 11 $100 MC gift cards toward mortgage and Ally car payments late last week. Everything looks like it's going well with appropriate emails, but when I check the Plastiq app, it says "invalid state". I just messaged Plastiq, will wait to hear what they have to say. Have you guys noticed that before?

Made a $5,100 transaction through Plastiq to Suntrust (mortgage provider). Transaction posted on 11/9, and 0.5x additional points was given for transactions over $5k (for Amex Biz Plat) but no 2x Small Business was posted. Maybe it's dead? Any other DP for last week/this week?
