I just looked into this further – the service is provided through Sallie Mae, and they assess a “convenience charge” for credit card payments that is between 2% and 3.5% of the total payment – so I guess that would negate any cash back rebates (which tend to be 1%).

Does anyone have any other tips and tricks for extracting the most value out of tuition payments?
