- Q3 estimated taxes are due today. Your options for potentially turning this into a win for the federal side are:
– ACI: credit fees 1.85%-2.95%, debit fees $2.10
– Pay1040: credit fees 1.75%-2.89%, debit fees $2.15
– Plastiq: card fees 2.99% + $1.49
– Melio: card fees: 2.9%
State taxes are a mixed bag, they may be outstanding for you, or your state might be Vermont in which case, sorry about that 3% fee. - Buyer beware: American Express Membership Rewards to ANA Mileage Club aren’t working for some users. (Thanks to DoC)
- Qatar reportedly no longer requires qualifying activity to add accounts to Family & Friends, now the restriction is only that those accounts are at least 30 days old, making this program again useful for more than just “P1’s Qsuites and Chill Adventure”.
- Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, and other Just4U stores have a digital coupon for 10x points earning on $50+ in Lowes gift cards through Saturday. Double check that your particular chain has the offer, not all of them do this round because why be consistent?
- Southwest has a paid and award fare sale for travel booked by Thursday and flown between October 5 and March 3, 2027, with blackouts around expected days. There is some meat on the bone here, enough so that it’s probably worth your time to reprice any existing travel.
Happy Tuesday, friends!
