How to pay for business membership fees with a credit card

Did you know you could earn credit card reward points on your professional membership fees? Pay.com.au makes this possible, transforming a necessary business expense into a valuable asset.

Whether you’re a small business owner paying chamber of commerce dues, a solicitor maintaining law society membership, or a corporation subscribing to industry associations, these fees are often unavoidable – and costly. But what if they could work harder for your business?

With pay.com.au, you can leverage these expenses to accumulate credit card rewards points. This means you’re not just investing in professional connections and industry insights – you’re also earning rewards that can benefit your business in other ways.

How many points can you earn when paying for business membership fees 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 membership fees through pay.com.au.

For example, if you spend $2,000 on annual membership fees, you could earn 2,500 points. That’s a good start towards a one-way Economy Class flight from London to Paris on British Airways, which requires around 6,500 points.

What if the organisation doesn’t accept credit card payments?

This is where pay.com.au comes in. Even if the organisation 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:

1. You make the payment to pay.com.au using your chosen credit or charge card.
2. We then pay the organisation on your behalf.
3. You earn thousands of credit card reward 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 your membership activation or renewal.
