Didn't say not to, but you need to weigh the cost of the 5/24 slot with no SUB and the need to make 5 purchases every month to earn the rent credit.
5/24 slots are quite valuable.

I understand that for many people the slots are extremely valuable. However, between myself and P2, I worry about MSR a lot more than 5/24 slots. Because of my lack of high organic spend and very minimal MS a one-time pull for constant rent-earning points.

(After making this calculation around a year+ ago, I did come across a small way to MS and ended up having to micromanage my personal cards applications. But overall, no regrets.)

Any updated thoughts on this?
Are there any other options of paying rent by cc without a fee? Or a low fee

Any reason why I couldn't MS 100k points by paying rent to myself / a relative?

It’s capped at 100,000 points per calendar year
Also can only be made to one rental property in a 30 day period

They are very MS sensitive. Per the CEO they are actively looking out for this.

Anyone use this for business rent? Any reason it wouldn't work?

There's an FT thread on this card where Richard Kerr actively chimes in. He has repeatedly stated that they have safeguards in place to prevent mortgage payments. Also, he recently updated that they have decided to selectively exclude Curve transactions from earning rent day bonuses. They seem to be pretty in the know about our antics (assumedly because of Richard + TPG as an investor).

How would TPG help them know about "our antics"?

Yes he chimes in other places as well. He is very points savvy and seems to be extremely paranoid with people using it to MS. That said I might have saw him say somewhere that they are working on including mortgages.

It seems that you would be able to pay your SO for "rent"? Then just deposit the check in the bank and pay your mortgage?

db23 · « **Reply #37 on:** August 10, 2023, 01:16:34 PM »

i heard that it can be done.

Would your SO get a 1099 for the "rent" paid?
