Paying Rent and CC Getting Points
« on: July 13, 2016, 07:41:19 AM »
If I need to pay my rent and my landlord does not allow me to pay with a credit card, any ideas of how to somehow get credit card points?
Maybe getting cash back someway?
To be more specific I need a way to take money out from a bank account and credit card points for it.

Get a Paypal Business Debit Mastercard and use it to pay your rent through RadPad. It will take cash straight from your Paypal balance or checking account and you will get 1% cash back like that. If you are able to buy Paypal My Cash cards with a credit card, you can use those to reload your Paypal balance and get even more points/cash back (depending on the credit card you use).

Or you can have RadPad charge your cc directly (for a fee), and avoid the hassle.

Free points versus paying for points...

Right but that fee (I forget how much it is), is usually more than the value of whatever points you will be gaining. Unless you're going for a signup bonus, it's not worth it.

Also, once you have the Paypal Debit Card set up with RadPad, there is literally no hassle. It just takes the money from your checking account automatically every month.

Yup, been doing this for a long time and can confirm very painless. Only thing to be aware of is that RadPad will contact your management company to confirm a few things. For some people, that just doesn't work (landlord is a single person or company who doesn't want to deal with outside party).

Well, you should've said it in the beginning, and not have a MD zipcode on your profile.

Post in the Israel thread. Perhaps someone there will be willing to share an idea with you.
