Hi all – is there anyone who lives in the London Borough of Brent who managed to pay council tax by Amex?
The website says this:
You can also pay online at any time with a debit or credit card. We support all Visa and Mastercard branded cards but we do not accept:
Diners card
Discover
JCBand this:
You can pay your Council Tax at any:
PayPoint outlet: take your Council Tax bill to any shop showing the PayPoint symbol. The front of our Council Tax bill has the bar code that is used to process your payment. Payments must be in cash but there are no extra fees.
Post Office: pay by cash, cheque or debit card at any Post Office. Please remember to take your Council Tax bill with you.
Its interesting that the council has completely ignored the existence of Amex (either way) in their website.
Pls do let me know if there’s a way to do this via Amex (BAPP), even if convoluted. Thanks in advance.Do they accept PayPal?
Do they accept PayPal?
Thank you for the quick reply. Sadly, no.
I’ve seen some discussions about paying via PayPoints at Co-op, but the council site says PayPoint payments must be in cash. I’m not sure if this is something each council restricts or PayPoint does it.I think the whole raison d’être of Paypoint is to allow you to pay bills with cash. But some Co-ops are happy to let you use a card. I can only suggest try paying your Council Tax bill with your Amex at a Co-op, and see what happens. Don’t ask. Just try it.
There is a limit of £200 on Council Tax transactions.
Brent does not accept Amex when paying them directly but the Post Office accepts Amex. So you could try presenting the council tax bill and then using your Amex.
No a chance of paying by Amex here in Lincoln, the CoOp doesn’t accept it. But I think it’s time to start paying for the year up front using my Avios Barclaycard.

In general, when the underlying provider doesn’t take Amex, the PO won’t either for those transactions, even if it takes Amex for PO products. In these sort of transactions, the PO simply acts as the bridge between council tax payer and council rather than taking the money into its own account and passing it on to the council. PayPoint is a very set up between customer, retailer and council.
Try Bluechain. They charge a small percentage of your payment amount though.

Just travel to a different part of the country where coop does accept Amex. London is a good example.
Now that would be doctorate level points collecting!!

Try other outlets. My local Texaco station accepts it at their paypoint terminal, max 200 per transaction but they’re happy to put through multiple 200s at a time
