Credit card for School education spends

[devarshi84]

I have tried to post this topic on various threads without much response and Seldom see posts from other users asking similar question. While not useful to many, Education fees goes into lacs for many and is a big expense.

In my case, the fees is collected via an App called Eduqfix. The School doesn't accept fees except cheque. Eduqfix charges certain fees for using a credit card. Also, many cards do not get cashback/ Points for paying school fees as per MCC code.

I was considering getting something like a Kotak IOCL Rupay or Tata neu infinity credit card to make UPI payment for school fees.

What are the thoughts of other card holders?

So in June 2024 I made 2.1 L payment for my kids annual fees and got the RP.

-If the Institute has a POS machine and if you in the same region, then go and swipe, that's the easiest way.
-If they have a payment portal where you can enter your CC and do the payment, that is also fine.
In my case, I wanted to use DCB (Did not have Infinia at that time) and the portal was accepting only visa and master, hence I called up the school and asked whether they have a POS (luckily they had). And I directly paid at school.

Amazon ICICI Bank Credit Card & Standard Chartered Smart Credit Card both give 1% CB for Offline School Fees Payment.
1. Kiwi Rupay Credit Card - 2% to 5% Cashback on UPI Payments: https://gokiwi.onelink.me/ENmK/KIWIOHE80S
2. SBI Cashback Credit Card - 5% Cashback on all Online Transactions: https://www.sbicard.com/invite/jaqt7b310gm & Code: jaqt7b310gm

Nopes. SBI cashback does not give reward points for education fees payment even though it is online

I think Kiwi rupay also does not give reward points for Education

Has anyone paid school fees using Easebuzz gateway? Does it accept Diners or Amex cards? I was paying using HDFC Regalia earlier now upgrading card to DCB so was wondering if can still pay using HDFC Cards. Axis Atlas does give miles for education.
