The fine print
- The semi-annual plan adds an administration fee of $100 per payment, and the 10-month plan adds $40 per payment.
- The New Family Membership Fee and the annual registration are due May 1 before the school year starts (May 1, 2027 for 2027–28); a new family’s Building Fund Loan is due September 1.
- A 10% tuition discount applies to a third child and 15% to a fourth.
- American Express works for tuition only when you pick the school from Chexy’s search bar; Visa and Mastercard work either way. Chexy needs your invoice.
- Rewards are set by your card issuer, not by Chexy.
- Chexy accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards in your name. Prepaid cards aren’t supported. Some categories (mobile, internet, gym and car leases) need Visa or Mastercard, and for utilities and taxes American Express works with eligible billers only. Logos show accepted networks, not an endorsement.
