How to earn credit card reward points on your business insurance
Business insurance is a crucial expense for many companies, protecting against various risks and liabilities. Whether you’re a café owner insuring your premises or a consultant protecting against professional indemnity, insurance costs can add up quickly.
However, with pay.com.au, you can turn these necessary expenses into a windfall of credit card rewards points.
How many points can you earn when paying for business insurance with a credit card?
The potential for earning points is substantial. With the right business credit card, you could earn up to 1.25 points per pound spent on your insurance premiums through pay.com.au.
For example, if you spend $80,000 on annual insurance premiums, you could earn 100,000 points. That’s enough for a one-way Business Class flight from London to Singapore on Singapore Airlines, which requires around 95,000 points.
What if the insurance provider doesn’t accept credit card payments?
This is where pay.com.au comes in. Even if your insurance provider doesn’t accept credit cards or imposes high surcharges, our platform allows you to use your preferred card and collect all the associated rewards points. Here’s how it works:
- You make the payment to pay.com.au using your chosen credit or charge card.
- We then pay the insurance provider on your behalf.
- You earn thousands of credit card reward points in the process.
It’s that simple!
