Miles for paying bills!

https://www.statusfactory.com/

Make payments to anyone (including the credit card companies, your kids at school, your mortgage!) using a major credit card, online, for a small fee (Minimum: $6/mo for 5 payments).

End of year CD avaialble of all your transactions.

Please use my email address as a referral, thanks.

Maybe I'm misreading their website, but it appears to me that the credit card payment option merely passes your information through to companies that will accept credit card payment. In other words, I don't think you could use your credit card to send money to a child at college or to pay your mortgage. If I'm mistaken, who would be paying the credit card processing fees?

I don't see anything on the site about paying with a credit card. The wording suggests that payment is by direct debit to your bank or other financial account.

From said site:

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Q10: Does StatusFactory support payments with a credit card?
A: Members can pay StatusFactory service with credit cards. To setup up this feature, go to the Payment Method page and choose Credit Card as the payment method type. StatusFactory currently does not support other payments through credit cards, as many of the payees being paid through our service will not accept them as payment. </font>
IOW, you can only pay your monthly fee with a CC it seems.

That makes sense. I initially read the word "service" to include more than it did.

mfb, it appears to me you are misinformed. I'd suggest revisiting https://www.statusfactory.com/ . As mentioned several times above and stated in Q10 from Questions about the service, you may not use a credit card to pay bills or make payments except for the StatusFactory monthly service fee.

Best wishes earning miles through other sources.
