Paying bills via PaySimply is only interesting for earning reward points. Indeed, we do not recommend using a credit card if your goal is to spread your payments: the interest charges paid in addition to the PaySimply fees will be high. You might as well pay directly from your checking account.

Also, no credit card offers enough return to offset the 2.5% fee. It is therefore advisable to use PaySimply for credit cards that offer a large welcome bonus but require spending a lot of money in 3 months.

The credit cards that offer the largest welcome bonuses in Canada are from American Express – especially with the small business cards (also available to consumers ).

Here are the best current offers:

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 will have to turn to other services like Plastiq.
