Utilities

Utilities — Spending thousands on electricity, gas, water or internet?

Most businesses spend thousands of dollars a year on utilities—electricity, gas, water, internet, phone systems, waste services and more. These are essential monthly expenses that usually get paid straight from your bank account… earning you nothing in return. With RewardPay, you can pay these same bills using your credit card, even if your utility provider only accepts bank transfers—and earn points on every payment.

How it works

Payroll

Utilities

Whether you’re running a shop, office, factory, medical practice, construction company, restaurant, warehouse, farm, or anything in between—you likely have Utility expenses like electricity, gas, telephone, waste, local council and more. Every one of these purchases can earn valuable credit card reward points. Those points can quickly add up to business‑class flights for you and your family, simply by being smarter about how you pay for the things your business already needs.

For example

A business spending $150,000 a year on utilities could put this on an American Express Platinum Card.
At 2.25 Membership Rewards points per $1, that’s up to 337,500 MR points annually — enough for up to 2 return business‑class flights to Asia, all from expenses your business already pays.

Why Use RewardPay for Utilities and other business expenses?

badge

Unlock Significant Rewards Value

Every dollar you spend on your Utility costs and other business expenses is a dollar that could be earning you rewards points. Unlike paying direct from your bank account, where you receive nothing in return, using a credit card through RewardPay converts your business spend into points that can be redeemed for flights, hotel stays, gift cards and more. For a business paying $100,000 annually in combined utility, tax, rent and other business expenses, this could mean earning enough points for a return international business class flight—value that would otherwise be left on the table.

Improve Cashflow

Improve Cashflow

Credit cards provide a crucial buffer between when your bills are due and when you actually need to settle the payment. With up to 55 days interest-free (depending on your card's billing cycle), you can pay your everyday business payments while keeping your business or personal cash available for urgent expenses, taking advantage of investment opportunities, or waiting for customer invoices to be paid. This short-term financing is provided at no interest cost, unlike a traditional business loan or overdraft facility.

Double up on Points. Unlock more Value

Go beyond your credit card rewards. With RewardPay, you can top up your Partner Points on every business payment you make. Choose to earn extra Qantas Points, Velocity Points, or ALL Accor Points—exactly when you need them—to secure a business or first‑class flight, or a luxury hotel stay for yourself, your family, or your team. You’re not limited to just one rewards partner. With RewardPay, you can boost points across all three programs with every eligible payment and truly maximise your rewards.

RewardPay helps you earn rewards on the essential utilities that keep your business running—so you get something back for your hard work.
