Best credit card for rent payment??? Still no where found an updated & clear answer.

Hi Folks,

This is to address the long standing question of Rent payment via credit cards.

My issues (can be similar with a lot of other folks)

1. Rent of 60k per month
Currently paying through Redgiraffe with Payzapp and HDFC DCB card. - NO REWARD POINTS, but CONSIDERED IN Monthly MILESTONE of 80k spends (benefit of ~1000 rs or 1.2% in terms of vouchers)

2. Exploring SBI Vistara prime and IDFC Vistara credit cards - NO REWARD POINTS, but CONSIDERED for spend milestone (premium economy ticket vouchers ~ 10k each)
Issue - getting denied for SBI card not sure for what reason, and for IDFC, after applying for Vistara card, being offered the IDFC wow card.

3. With recent Vistara merger into AirIndia, should I apply for SBI Air India card? Does this also work for milestone spends on rent?

4. If we leave aside the ticket vouchers against milestone spends, which other card provides good net return rate for rent payment.

Looking for recommendations and discussion with the current scenario.

Thanks in advance!!
 
PhonePe doesn't support rent payments using Amex.
You can load MobiKwik Pocket UPI using Amex. INR 1000 is free per month, post that you'll incur 2.5% + GST as charges. Once the amount is loaded, you can use it for paying rent.
What's the convenience fee of PhonePe?
It's genuine rent payment.
 
dont use direct rent pay services of any app as :- (EVEN THEY ENTICE WITH CASHBACK =LOW % but still have to pay bank & govt)
rent transaction fee = 1% charged by all banks
gst = 18%
app's fee = 2% (post payment app's dont auto credit cashback , so u actually end with more or less 2%)

U actually end up paying ~ 3.3% when u use direct rent payment/ bill payment via apps.

FINALLY APP'S DONT KEEP THEIR PROMISE OF CASHBACK & ITS HASSLE /NOT WORTH IT.

Instead CC to wallet to upi could be cheaper
