PayTm experience ?

Personally been using PayTM for over a year now and find it reliable. They recently took away the ability to pay property tax without any fees which really defeats the appeal of PayTM but its nonetheless another way of double dipping on points. Your CC points + Paytm Points. Return is not that great overall but it's better than nothing. U can use your points for Gift Cards or Paytm Cash and it's pretty straight forward and quick

Whut? I've been using the app for over a year to pay my PPT - where did the notice appear?

Didn't notice that either. Did a dummy payment on my property tax and seems to be a 1.75% convenience fee. Guess I won't be using Paytm for that anymore as it's more than my credit card reward.

I just paid my Property Taxes a week ago and I swear I didn't see any added on fees. But I'm using a Mastercard which I heard has no fees, if use another card such as Amex you will incur fees. Or maybe this Convenience Fee was just recently added which would make me stop using PayTm.

Sorry to be the messenger but they made the change Aug 23. Heres the link.

Thats too bad, I made my last property tax payment early August. I guess I'll just delete the app now - if I'm linking it to my bank account to avoid fees then I may as well as just pay it directly from my bank.

Bye bye PayTM

Hi there,

Starting November 1st, 2019, Paytm customers will be charged a 1.75% Credit Card convenience fee and 1.25% Debit Card convenience fee on every bill payment for all categories.

It's important to note that if you have an upcoming bill payment scheduled for November 1st and onwards, you will be charged a convenience fee if you are paying with a credit card and/or debit card.

You will not be charged a convenience fee when you make a bill payment using either your bank account or Paytm Cash, or when you purchase an e-gift card using a credit card or debit card. American Express credit card convenience fees will remain at 3%.

At Paytm, we believe that a solid relationship is built on honesty and trust, and we pride ourselves on being transparent with our customers. We do not make money from your bill payments - and will not from these new convenience fees either.

For more information regarding this change, please check out our latest post. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reply back directly to this email.

Might just use Plastiq using Paypower MC from now on? (purchased with Amex Cobalt)

I am done with PayTM now.

yup PayTM is over for me too

There was an RFD post about it but it can no longer be found... weird.

I have added my paytm billers to the Triangle WE card via the bill payments.

I'm going to be a dissenting voice here, I think.

I've been using PayTM for about 2 or 3 months. I do not pay my bills on my credit card, I pay directly from my chequing account. I'm basically paying my utilities, mobile phones, 407 and credit card. In a short time, I've earned $20 in Starbucks cards for simply paying bills through this app instead of my banking app.

Seems like it's a good program to me.

Certainly that remains an advantage. It is still just annoying to lose the 1.75% or 2% or whatever you've been able to get by stacking your CC in the mix.

Payed 2 years of property taxes with Paytm since January of 2018 (had to call city of vaughan) to change my payment plan and the other bills.
I made last year just through my credit card program almost 18,000 points from paytm (almost $9000 in bills payed through paytm) which amounts to $180 in travel money from my capital one points.
It will be sad to let this go, ah well, it had a good run.

If we submit a payment on oct 31st, are we safe or must it all process before the 1st?
