Buying a prepaid card using credit card

[navonline7]

I need to pay my kids' school fees and want to use my AMEX card. The school doesn't accept AMEX cards, so I'm exploring if I can get a prepaid card using my AMEX card and pay the fees. Any ideas or ways around this?

Woohoo Pineperks RuPay gift card - https://www.woohoo.in/pineperks-rupay-generic-special-e-gift-instant-voucher

2% processing fee charged for debit/credit card user. Free for UPI user.

2% processing fee is a little high considering that the school fee is more than a lakh. In addition, it looks like prepaid/gift cards may not be the right instruments in this case. If not prepaid/gift cards, any other way out? @Abhishek012

Prepaid gift card limit is - 10k

Prepaid card limit is - 1 lakh.

You can't pay more than 1 lakh via prepaid cards.

If your kid's school added on BBPS system then go to Amazon and pay your kid's school fees here - https://www.amazon.in/hfc/bill/education_fee?ref_=apay_mobhome_EducationFees

All school list added on BBPS system here, scroll down and check all school list - https://www.npci.org.in/what-we-do/bharat-billpay/product-statistics/live-billers

Best solution:
Use rent pay to self option in paytm or anything via Amex cc and at school swipe ur debit card minimal charge with paytm in first week of a month.

Can you elaborate "first week of a month"

If they can, request the school to send a link to pay online, payment gateway might accept your cc

Also, if you don't mind then mention the school name, it'll be to easier find a solution

See my paytm ss below where I am currently getting 1k as offer so even they charge 1% it’s nil for me to 1lakh for wife account or own account transfer.
In month beginning I used to get flat 0.5% for all transactions like rent school fee everything they used to change offers daily and it’s different from all users

the school does have an app, which can be used to make payments online. But even the payment gateway isn't accepting AMEX

If payment gateway accepts amazon wallet then buy gift card and reload the wallet. Then pay the fees.

You have interesting use-case.

No, doesn't accept Amazon Pay either. Looks like I'll have to give up on using AMEX for school fees. Can't seem to find a way to use AMEX.
