Can you explain how. I’m curious as I don’t know why but I’ve heard it’s something you should never do.

Register on RedGiraffe, then link it to Payzapp and then pay using CC thru Payzapp. You would earn points as well thru this method.

How much points you get? Does that more than your charges for paying rent on cc

Used to be fun. Still is but less fun. Because a few things added up. E.g with my rent which is 37k 1. cred charges 600 bucks on it 2. Axis charges 370 on it 3. But I get 2400 points on it. The miles conversion is great on 2400 hence that additional 1k i end up spending works out. May not for everyone. Sala even cheq is charging 99 per transaction now.

Quick question: 2400 points what kind of value you get? E.g. is 2400 is equal to ₹2400 coupon, or you need to accumulate these points to a certain threshold and then redeem? How it works Another point, ₹1k you pay extra does the 2400 points help you redeem more than ₹1k This is really interesting! As roti, kapda, makaan is basic needs. Credit card already took over roti & kapda now quietly venturing into makaan!

About 1700-1800 miles is 2400 points converted. For e.g a return economy ticket BLR-Sydney is 85k points.

Most cards have stopped giving points on rent. Double and triple check before paying extra to platforms like paytm, nobrokerhood or cred for rent payment. If you multiple the percentage by 12 months, thats a huge personal loan interest you are paying annually just for points(which you probably stopped getting from the card issuer since the past couple of months).

Rent is the biggest bucket in my expense list. I usually pay via UPI. Is there any better way/credit card/ or any other ways to get some cashback.

How much can you save by paying rent using a credit card on Cred/PhonePe etc?

All of them seem to charge a 1%+ convenience fee . Is this still cheaper than paying through UPI? Which app is the best?

Rental payment options

I remember seeing a lot of startups that give reward points for paying rent. Now that I’m married, rent seems to be the biggest constant expense for us every month. Can I earn some discount on this? Any options to pay rent other than upi? My owner wants to receive rent on his bank account. So that is a non negotiable.

Rent Pay as Feature is destroying India

- Fintechs is leveraging Rentpay as feature and the segment is literally booming in both TopLine & BottomLine. Basically Cashing out Credit. Example - Cheq, Cred, Housing, RentGiraffe, BharatNxt(business payments), Freecharge, nobroker etc., - Heard that the Revenues through likes of Rent-pay as a feature in Fintechs is Contributing around 10-40%+ - This is a Grey space. This vertical is turning as positive contribution to the bottom line. - To put things in perspective - Cheq does XXX crores(triple digit) volumes in Rent payments monthly through CC. - Many making around ~30-40 Basis points post all the processing costs. - Also, Some Credit cards underwriters (example - RBL) have started charging additionally 1% surcharge in the Monthly Bill Statement. - Most of Credit Card issuers removed reward points in this kind of cashing out payments. - Below picture show how this segment of Grey Space is booming on the streets. This picture is taken in Koramanagala Any Thoughts ?!
