How to Get Cash Back on Your Dalhousie University bill

What is Dalhousie University?

Online banking payments can take 2 to 3 business days to appear on your Dalhousie student account, so pay ahead of each term's deadline. The math on this page uses $750/month as an example tuition; your own amount will differ, and the cash back scales with it.

Can I Pay Dalhousie 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 $750/month Dalhousie University tuition, that's roughly $270 back per year between a 2% cash-back card and Neobanc, for the exact same tuition.

The Math on Your Dalhousie University Tuition

On a $750/month tuition, a 2% cash-back card returns about $15.00/month, and Neobanc adds $7.50 on top, roughly $270 per year for switching how you pay, not what you pay.

How do I save the most on my Dalhousie 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 $270 a year. Payments received after the term deadline are charged a $50 late fee, and overdue balances are charged interest at an annual rate of 12%, assessed weekly and compounded monthly. A recurring Neobanc payment a few business days before the due date earns on every cycle and never runs late.
