How to pay for office supplies with a credit card

Office supplies are an ongoing necessity for businesses of all sizes, from small startups to large corporations.

From pens and notebooks to printer ink and coffee for the staff kitchen, office supply expenses can add up quickly. However, with pay.com.au, you can turn these necessary purchases into a windfall of credit card rewards points.

How many points can you earn when paying for office supplies 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 office supplies through pay.com.au.

For example, if you spend $5,000 annually on office supplies, you could earn 6,250 points. That’s a good start towards a one-way Economy Class flight from London to Barcelona on British Airways, which requires around 7,500 points.

What if the office supplies wholesaler doesn’t accept credit card payments?

This is where pay.com.au comes in. Even if your supplier 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 supplier 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 receiving your supplies.
