This is kind of based on the previous thread from a few days ago. How does the private school (or daycare) your kids go to accept payments for tuition? All else being equal (teachers, curriculum, etc), I would prefer to make payments via a credit card to accrue the points.

I was just wondering if anyone had any insight on this, especially in BTR.

My kids go to STM in Baton Rouge. They do ACH, not sure if they require that or not though honestly.

I figured most would either not allow CC payments, or charge a fee which would negate earning potential unless there is a minimum spending threshold to meet to earn bonus points.

Could be a lot of card churning in my future.

The preschool we used in Katy took credit cards, but only if it was a weekly recurring charge. You couldn't just swipe your card every time a payment was due.

I've used two preschools here in NOLA and both only accepted check or money order. They didn't even accept cash.

The catholic school my kids are attending, you can pay tuition once a year in full (via check only) or you can do a bank loan. The bank loan requires bank draft for repayments.

The kids daycare used to take CC, and the school they are in now does, too, but I think it's a 3% charge, so I've never taken advantage of that.

I think each school will be different. My kids go to a private school in Houston and they take credit cards with no additional fee.

The catholic school in NOLA that my kids go to has to be paid in full at the beginning by check or tuition loan through a local bank that is automatically given at 7%. My wife started working there and the school canceled the loan. They told us just to pay that balance for tuition however we want by May with no interest. They wouldn't take it out her check pre-tax.
