It is possible to search the list of issuers. Here’s an example of a search using the keyword “City of “:

This makes it easy to see:

Here’s an example from the city of Quebec for municipal taxes paid with a credit card:

Paying bills via PaySimply is only interesting for earning reward points. In fact, I wouldn’t recommend using a credit card if your aim is to spread out your payments: the interest charges paid on top of PaySimply fees will be high. You’re better off paying directly from your checking account.

Similarly, no credit card offers a sufficient return on bill payments to offset the 2.5% fee. We therefore only recommend PaySimply for credit cards offering a large welcome bonus but requiring you to spend a lot of money in a few months.

The credit cards that offer the most substantial welcome bonuses in Canada are from American Express, particularly with their small business cards (which are also available to individuals).

Here are some current offers:

To make it all worthwhile, here are the best welcome offers available.

Synchronize your credit card application with future payments:

• Professional orders;
• Municipal taxes;
• Or taxes to pay.

Then use PaySimply to unlock a great bonus. In return, you’ll have collected a ton of points for your future all-inclusive trip, your next getaway to Walt Disney World or to pay for all your accommodation on a road trip.

The PaySimply service is an alternative solution to Plastiq.com.

However, some providers still don’t accept credit cards through PaySimply (sometimes, you can bypass this when using PayPal). You’ll have to turn to other services like Plastiq.
