Using credit cards for tuition - which one has good reward points?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I just found out we can pay tuition with a credit card with no additional fees. Our current card offers reward points but I'm wondering if there is a better one out there? We would charge the tuition bills and then pay the card off in full. Seems like a nice way to build up some points for air travel, etc.</p>

<p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>Wow, what school does your child go to? Few schools, I’ve heard, allow tuition to be paid via credit card :P</p>

<p>I don’t know what school techiemom will be paying, but my D attends USC and they accept credit card tuition (and all other billed costs) payments. We do as techiemom is planning - use the card and then pay it off in full in order to get the points. (Our part is pretty small thanks to merit and need-based aid, but every little bit helps!)</p>

<p>I was wondering about the fees that I had heard of, and a quick Google turned this up.</p>

<p>I think this varies school to school. I checked with the financial aid office and as of now they said there were no additional fees or charges.</p>

<p>So far, no fee at USC, but we plan to double-and-triple check again this year to be sure one hasn’t been imposed. With the current economic situation, I would not be surprised.</p>

<p>If they do impose a fee, we would not use the credit card.</p>

<p>I would positively love it if I could pay my tuition via credit card, especially since I live abroad. EFT fees keep adding up! T___T</p>
