great that it’s not targeted, hope they don’t exclude taxes like some cards have in the past.
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.
Yeah. Worried since it’s Sat. that property tax wont post till Mon. Maybe that’s why BOA made it weekend.
risk is 2.25% fee but I do get 2+% back on BOA CC

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.

Since the 2% bonus is not guaranteed (depending on the actual transaction date), I wouldn’t pre-pay too much ahead.

So we’ll get 4.625% w/ 2.625% cashback B of A.
You will earn the Preferred Rewards bonus on the purchase amount(s). The Preferred Rewards bonus does not apply to the incremental bonus earn for this promotion.
I got my four confirmation of payment emails from Bank of America for my payments to pay1040.com and ftb.ca.gov
There are two each for the payment of the tax and also of the fees.

OT Pay1040 was quick but I don’t like that you can’t make an account for future, save info. Are the other IRS processors same?
I wouldn’t want to create an account unless I have to.

they make it hard to retrieve prior info too. Probably by design
I understand privacy safety but they can do 2FA etc. Do the other processors allow accounts? I know some take PayPal (need to max out the $1500 5% Freedom promo)
Here’s a list of the IRS credit card payment sites

With about $500 credit limit left on my card, I tried to get $400 of GCs from Staples and got declined.
had to call for a CL increase/transfer. They said soft pull… I hope
I hope we get more of these promotions as black Friday nears. I remember fondly the $10 off $25 small business promotion from American Express a few years back

I remember the $10 off period small business promotion from American Express. Got a bunch of $10 GCs to give out for holidays.
You can see the bonus rewards under “Rewards”. 4 of my 6 transactions got the bonus.
