Make your membership fees work for you with PayRewards

Your business membership fees are a crucial business expense. But what if they generated rewards that benefitted your business? Then you would get the benefits of membership and the rewards from your payment of the fees.

Business membership fees can add up fast. From Chamber of Commerce fees to professional association dues, you might be paying thousands of dollars every year. And for good reason! Staying active in your Chamber builds local connections, professional licenses keep you compliant, and trade associations provide industry insight and advocacy. These memberships benefit your business. But what if paying the fees could benefit your business too? 

PayRewards lets you pay membership dues with a credit card, even when organizations don’t accept cards or charge processing fees that kill the value. You get the points. They get paid their way. Everyone wins.

Earn points on professional dues you’re already paying.

With PayRewards, you can earn up to 2 Points per dollar on membership dues through the Plus Tier, on top of whatever your business credit card earns.

Think about it. Suppose you pay $2000 in annual Chamber of commerce fees by bank transfer. Your business earns nothing. Now, if make that same payment with the PayRewards Premium Tier with a credit card that earns 1.5 points to the dollar, it’s another story. That’s 4,000 PayRewards Points plus 3,000 credit card points! Seven thousand points on a single payment? Now we’re talking rewards!

The more you spend, the more you earn. If you pay $5,000 across multiple memberships, suddenly you’re earning 10,000 PayRewards Points plus your card rewards—all from business expenses you were paying anyway. 

Not only do the rewards stack up fast, but paying by card can extend your cash flow, which is always helpful to a business. Most business cards offer up to 55 days interest free, so you’re not just earning on dues you were already paying.

Why leave rewards on the table? Pay your dues by card and stack PayRewards Points on top of your credit card points!

What if the organization doesn’t accept credit cards?

This is where PayRewards comes in. Lots of membership organizations prefer checks and bank transfers because they avoid card processing fees. Some will accept cards but charge you 3% or more on top of your dues, which erases any rewards value from credit card points alone. Still others simply don’t have the infrastructure set up to process card payments.

PayRewards solves all three scenarios. Here’s how it works:

1. Pay your dues using your business credit card. Payment timing runs T+2 days from your card payment to the organization receiving funds. 
2. We pay the organization via their preferred method (check, ACH, wire). Your membership stays active with no delays in activation or renewal.
3. You earn points on the entire transaction.

It’s that simple.

Credit card rewards for all your business membership dues

PayRewards handles virtually any business membership payment. 

1. Chambers of Commerce
2. Trade associations
3. Professional licensing organizations
4. Networking groups like your local business forum, professional development memberships

Bottom line, if it’s a legitimate business expense, you can run it through PayRewards and earn rewards on the payment.

The platform works for both one-time dues and recurring annual payments. Set up your payees once, and you can earn points on professional dues year after year without missing a beat.
