Comment. With interest rates on money market accounts and short-term savings close to 3%, it may not make sense to pre-pay property tax, estimated tax, tie up cash in Amazon gift cards, etc.
might pay property tax on 11/5 to get some cash back w/ Unlimited Cash Rewards World Mastercard 2.6+2% right? But do they go off charge date or posting??

I know you said “may not” and everyone’s situations are going to vary. But it’s worth noting that the 3% being earned in savings accounts is over an entire year. If you are prepaying an expense due 6 months in the future, a 2% reward would generally still be a net gain even considering the lost interest earnings.
Agreed. I could’ve been more clear. Last time I checked, the Fidelity high interest money market account FZDXX is paying 3.1%. You earn 2% in 7.75 months. I will probably pay my fourth-quarter estimated tax Fed and State on November 5 but I don’t think I’ll pay the second installment of my property tax which is due sometime in March 2023.
I made an insurance payment very early on 10/29, and the transaction date is listed as 10/30, with posting date of 10/31. Therefore, it’s a big unknown what transactions will actually earn the 2% bonus.
Big day is tomorrow. With current rates, you can earn over 2% in six months or less with three month or six month T-bills. I will probably pay my fourth quarter estimated tax with my 2.625% cashback B of A card. Not sure whether I will pre-pay the second installment of my property tax that is not due until next year.
