Confirmed- Amex for Tax Payment

[CVR]

Paid income tax using Amex via Canara Bank PG. It is working.

This is the tweet of the person who found the way:


This is great way to complete Amex milestone when most cards (except hdfc bizblack) not giving any points for tax payments.

P.S. Guys i haven’t got any referral benefits yet. If anyone wants to use my Amex referral it is in my signature. Thanks!

Can we pay tax and get refund later, will it be worth it?

Yes, we could. Worth it -> IMO, I dont think so, parking the money for so long for no reason.

I was literally struggling to complete the milestone. No local establishment accepts Amex.
A big big relief 😅

Initially thought of paying with BizBlack but then I remembered reading about Tax - Amex somewhere here!!
Found a reason to retain the PT!

Does it make any sense to take a new Plat Travel just for payment of taxes of say 4 lakhs (to reach milestone) and not other uses. Are the milestone based points worth more than the annual fees?

Do the Plat Reserve or Plat have any similar milestone benefits if tax payment p.a. is more than 4 lakhs?

It might make sense if you have no other card which gives you anything. I have DCBM so some tax payment help me reach quarterly milestone in that.
For the worth part even I am struggling. Marriot points changes value between properties and seasons so calculation becomes estimate.
Even after estimate I personally have not used luxury hotels so money value for me might not be equivalent to the fees. Example if I am eligible for 20k hotel and they say either take room or 10k cash. I will take 10k cash.
But if you anyways like Marriot then it is fantastic card. Though worth would be very personal.
