Cashback rules have changed (for worse) | Page 2 | Neo Financial | Discussion forum

Generally, universities are not willing to absorb the costs of accepting tuition fee payments by credit card.

McGill refuses giving that explanation.

McMaster has an arrangement through Moneris to accept online tuition payments by MasterCard credit and Visa credit. Student will bear the merchant costs as Moneris will charge a convenience fee of 2¼%.

Years ago, UofAlberta allowed me to pay with Visa and without any additional charges. I do not know what their current policy might be.

That policy is no more. They partnered with PayMyTuition and Plastiq for credit card tuition payments.

PayMyTuition charges 2½% for MasterCard and Visa. For AMEX, the fee is 3¾%.

Tuition? Credit cards?
When I started university, credit cards weren't an option because they didn't exist! It wasn't even possible to amass credit card debt at exorbitant interest rates.  

when I was in university, they are actively promoting credit card as a mean to build ur credit score. My first card was actually an American Express and the annual fee was $35 ! Nowadays when I am no longer a poor student, I refused to pay a annual fee for at least the last 20 years+

p/s I cant never tell whether that card actually help me on my credit score or not lol
