i already check with cardup
-UOB visa card, if you set up recurrring rental payment for 6 mths it will be 1.5% fee. UOB has confirmed this will be given rebates/rewards points (i.e. not consider IPP/instalment payent)
-other master/visa card, if you set up recurrring rental payment for 6 mths. it will be 1.5% fee. Other than UOB visa, cardup is unable to confirm if this will be given rebates/rewards points for other Master/visa
- recurrring payroll for 3 mths will be 1.99% processing fee.
Thanks for the update, cardup has yet to get back to me. Cardup will probably need to activate on my account, since I just put for >6 months or 6 months exactly for a non-UOB visa, still 2.6% fee.
I don't see how credit card company differentiate recurring payment from normal cardup payments, if I believe it is that the recurring is done at Cardup side, and this is not IPP.
So still the standard 2.6% for one-time payments I presume?
Edited:
Just got a call back from Cardup. So the 1.5% is part of their "working capital loan", which they tied up with the banks to charge them lesser fees at no rewards given. Like Verbatin mentioned, you will need to put recurring payments of >= 6 times. So becomes like at least 6 months loan of the total amount, but you "pay" monthly through credit card / card limit.
Assuming what they say is true (no miles/points/rebates), this is only for those looking for "cheaper loan" for the business. Compare 1.5% and 2.6%, add another 1.1%, I can get 1.4mpd, or less than $0.008 per mile, if only consider the "extra" 1.1%... so not very attractive at 1.5%, no miles.
