Sign Up for Plastiq
Plastiq is a service that lets you pay bills with a credit card. You can pay your rent, mortgage or any other bill that you have, either by check or ACH. They charge fees for using a credit card, but sometimes they have promotions like this one, which make it worthwhile. Even paying the full fee of 2.5% makes sense sometimes if you need to complete minimum spending requirements in a hurry.
If you’ve never tried Plastiq you can sign up through my referral and you get $500 in fee-free spending. That means that you can pay any bill up to $500 with a credit card with no fee.
Guru’s Wrap-Up
A pretty good promotion for payments made with a Mastercard credit card. You are paying a 1% fee, instead of the regular fee of 2.5%. So with a card that earns at least 2% such as the Barclays Arrival Plus card that earn 2.1X or Citi Double Cash that earns 2%. The promotion is targeted, so check your emails for subject line “1% Plastiq fee on Mastercard payments”.
