I believe CU will only inform you on the Payment Date that Payment did not go through for XXX reason ... not before
i hope they'll do a chargeback of the full amount incl. the Cardup txn fee
My income tax payment went through yesterday though. It was scheduled 5 working days before.
Maybe IRAS sent a list of NRICs to Cardup to only allow these for one-time payment, and cannot exceed the amounts due. And this list contains those that had overpaid or had refunds issued.
Can the forummer which posted the email from Cardup confirm if he had received any refunds from IRAS?
Hopefully so. It is reasonable for CU to ensure the payment does not exceed the total tax amount due. But not to just paint brush everyone to one-time payment now.
Card up only makes sense if you are using a rebate card which gives more than 2.6% rebate (common ones are UOB one and BOC family?), correct? Anyone using card up with miles card? Does that make sense?
I tried to set up the income tax payment this month, and noted they wanted a submission of the statement of account as well as to ensure we are making payment for the WHOLE outstanding tax liability, not just $600 which I have been paying.
So is it game over for income tax payments?
can i check why use cardup when uob one card allows recurring bill payment for insurance premiums?
hmm, but one card does not exclude cash rebates for recurring bill payment right? because when i use the calculator, it counts in the recurring bill payment.

If BOC Family Card supports awarding of rebate here, technically it would make sense that their Qoo10 card which also offers rebates for online spend would work too right?Update on knowledge management here.
Cards that accept CardUp for 5% cash rebate
UOB One Card (capped at $2000 per month), BOC Family Card (capped at $600 per month)
Insurers that allow partial pre-payment of premiums
Great Eastern
AIA
Prudential
Aviva
So that means, if your premiums of $6000 is due in September, you can pay $2000 in June, $2000 in July, and $2000 in August, and the insurer accepts it.
Minimum CardUp Fee
$3.40, that means minimum payment of $130 per transaction is required to make your payment worth it.
For MINDEF AVIVA GTL
Choose "Health Insurance" Category, and under the "Policy Number", you put in your NRIC. Then take a screenshot and email them after you have make a payment.
