How to Get Cash Back on Your Carleton University bill

What is Carleton University?

Carleton calls online banking bill payment its preferred method for payments within Canada and says payments may take up to three business days to process. Fee payment deadlines are August 25 for the fall term, November 25 for winter and April 25 for summer. The math on this page uses $515/month as an example tuition; your own amount will differ, and the cash back scales with it.

Can I Pay Carleton University With a Credit Card?

Yes, and it's the whole point. Most billers don't reward you for how you pay. Through Neobanc, your card earns its normal rewards and Neobanc adds 1% cash back on top. On a $515/month Carleton University tuition, that's roughly $185 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same tuition.

The Math on Your Carleton University Tuition

On a $515/month tuition, a 2% cash-back card returns about $10.30/month, and Neobanc adds $5.15 on top, roughly $185 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.

How do I save the most on my Carleton University tuition each month?

Change how you pay before what you pay. Paying by bank transfer or pre-authorized debit earns nothing; the same tuition through Neobanc with a cash-back card returns about $185 a year. Carleton applies a $133.75 late payment charge to balances outstanding after a term's payment deadline, and interest on overdue balances is assessed daily and charged monthly. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
