Summary

I’m an advocate for putting as many of your expenses as possible on rewards credit cards in order to maximize your points potential. But as we all know, there are certain expenses that charge a processing fee, or don’t offer a credit card payment option at all. Sometimes it’s worth paying the fee, but for those occasions when it doesn’t, PayPal BillPay is here to help.

Here to show us how to use this powerful but often overlooked tool is Dr. Sujatha Murali, a physician from Southern California who has been using PayPal Bill Pay to earn points for years now. Whether it’s utilities, insurance, or any other bill you’re paying by a cheque or bank transfer, you can leverage these into point-earning opportunities starting today, and we’re showing you how.

0:00.0	Welcome to Point Me to First Class, the only show for employed professionals, entrepreneurs,
0:06.2	and business owners who are looking to optimize their higher than average expenses to travel the world.
0:10.8	I'm your host, Stephen Gimbleimble and I believe that your expenses are your
0:13.9	greatest untapped asset if you know how to leverage them. Ready to dive into the world
0:18.8	of credit card points and miles so you can travel more, travel better, and travel often.
0:23.0	Let's get started.
0:25.0	Hey everybody, welcome back to the podcast.
0:30.0	By now you have heard me say a million times that your expenses are your greatest asset, if you know how to leverage them,
0:38.0	and that I am a huge advocate for putting as many of your expenses as possible on rewards credit cards in order to maximize
0:46.2	the number of points that you can earn for the money you're going to be spending anyway.
0:50.4	But we all know that there are certain expenses that don't offer the option of making payment by credit card.
0:56.5	And there are also other expenses that you can put on a credit card, but you have to pay a processing fee in order to do so. Now I have some
1:05.5	opinionated ideas about when it makes sense to use rewards cards to pay for
1:09.9	expenses even when you do have to pay a fee in order to do that, but that's not exactly what we're going to be diving in on today's episode.

1:35.0	rewards credit card for certain expenses.
1:38.0	And the method that we are going to be diving into today specifically is PayPal Bill Pay. now if you are not familiar with pay
1:45.6	pay you are about to learn so much about it but one thing for you to know right
1:50.3	off the bat is that this is one of the more, shall we say, quirky methods in terms of
1:56.4	earning points. And you'll understand what I mean by that as I get into the details with my
2:00.7	guest today, because this is not an episode where I'm just going to talk at
