When a card is worth it
For a $300 student loan payment, the fee is more than a typical 2% card earns, so pay MOHELA (student loan servicer) from your bank account. A card only makes sense here if it is the cheapest way to finish a sign-up bonus; the calculator checks that against your other bills.
Watch out for
Bank-account payments only. A credit card can reach MOHELA only through a third-party service such as Plastiq or doxo.
