I was excited to learn I could now pay my Meredith taxes online using a credit card. For those responsible credit card users it would be a great way to get some reward points. Well, not so fast. There is a 2.95% processing fee which will more than offset any rewads you'd get for using the credit card. Once I found this out the check was in the mail.
It does state this processing fee on the payment site but if you are not really paying attention and just clicking through to get to the paymnet information screen you might miss it.
