Do you ship UPS? You'd better check this out!

5% back on all shipping - confirmed

[moderngamer]

I wasn't sure about this but last week the savings posted to my account so I can confirm it works.

VISA SavingsEdge

If you have a business visa check card (or credit cart) and you ship UPS you will get 5% back on all your charges (paid by your visa card).

If you ship UPS a lot (like me - I ship only ups) that's some serious savings, hence the reason I'm posting this.

Hope it helps!

I have Weekly Pickup and receive a discount on the Daily Rate. Is this 5% off Retail Counter rate?

[moderngamer]

It's not just for retail rates, I have daily pickup so I receive the daily pickup rates and I get 5% back.

I'm not sure where negotiated rates fall though

Amex gives you 5% on FedEx.

Can you pay your weekly UPS bill with a credit card? I do not think UPS allows credit card payments to pay your bill.

[sun818]

Right. So, does this mean one has to print shipping labels from the UPS web site and pay each time by credit card? While I like the 5% discount, I sort of like the integration with UPS WorldShip better...?

[moderngamer]

No no not at all, sorry for being confusing.

I use UPS Worldship and I have a daily pickup account.

My business check card is on file and the shipping charges are automatically deducted each week from UPS. Then 2-4 weeks later I get 5% of that amount deposited to my business bank account from VISA Savings Edge

From UPS.com:

"Credit Card: You can arrange to have payment automatically debited from a credit card. Credit cards accepted include American Express®, Discover® Card, MasterCard® and VISA®. Credit cards can only be used to pay for shipping costs and cannot be used to pay duties and taxes."

I use a UPS Visa issued through Chase. It pays the visa bill each week, gives me a 3% discount and another 30 days to pay the bill.

UPS will be happy to put a visa number on file for you. You can get airmiles, cash back or whatever you your card gives for a bonus. You can also avoid their 5% late fees that they charge after 21 days.
