    Whether you’re a tradie needing a reliable work vehicle, a senior executive requiring a company car, or a small business owner like a farmer investing in essential transport, vehicle purchases are often unavoidable – and costly. But what if this expense could work harder for your business?

    With pay.com.au, you can leverage your vehicle purchase to accumulate many credit card reward points. This means you’re not just investing in necessary transportation – you’re also earning rewards that can benefit your business in other ways.

    Let’s explore how pay.com.au can help you transform your car buying expense into a points windfall, adding extra value to your business vehicle investment.

    How many credit card reward points can you earn when paying for a car?

    The potential for earning points is substantial. With the right business credit card, you could earn up to 1.25 points per dollar spent on your new car through pay.com.au.

    For example, a new quality twin-cab ute priced at around $50,000 could earn you 62,500 points. That’s more than enough for a one-way Business Class trip from Perth to Singapore on Qantas, which requires 57,000 points.

    What if the car dealer doesn’t accept credit card payments?

    This is where pay.com.au comes in. Even though car dealers typically refuse credit card payments for new vehicles, our platform allows you to use your preferred card and collect all the associated rewards points. Here’s how it works:

    1. You make the payment to pay.com.au using your chosen credit or charge card.
    2. We then pay the dealer on your behalf.
    3. You earn thousands of credit card rewards points in the process.

    It’s that simple. The timing between your credit card payment through pay.com.au and receipt by the payee is typically only T+2 days, ensuring no delays in picking up your new car.

    What if I don’t have the cash to buy a car upfront?

    No problem. pay.com.au can also facilitate payments to asset finance lenders, fleet management, and novated lease providers. This flexibility allows you to earn reward points regardless of how you choose to finance your new vehicle. However, it’s best to check our prohibited payments page first to ensure your payment type is accepted

    What other business expenses can you use pay.com.au for?

    Our platform isn’t limited to vehicle purchases. You can use pay.com.au for a wide range of B2B payments, including:
