Charges are very high in repair, painting, almost upto 2% then what's the benefit?
Using education payment also leads to same merchant name in payment gateway so most probably the same MCC hence no charges by credit card.
I guess selecting rent or other rent related services will get us in trouble as credit card provider applies additional 1% charges on it.
I was trapped by this in my sc smart CC. Bank charged 1% + GST and payment gateway charged 1.6% so net 2.6% charges and ghanta return.

Ya there is no benefit.
I just use this in last 2-3 months of card membership year if the milestone is not achieved.
Also 2-3 months ago, Banks were not charging the 1% + GST on education payments only the gateway charges which was also credited back in some cards as Rewards/Cashback(1%) so it was beneficial at that time but now it is not.

Amex doesn't charge anything for rent/painting/repair. Only the housing.com charges will be there. But agree that it is most beneficial if we just want to hit those milestones

Yaa I was about to add this line in my previous comment 😀

I was delaying making these spends as I thought there will be spends in upcoming months and the milestones will be hit. But now bit worried, this housing not accepting amex was shocking... 😱

Housing is not accepting amex in any category now

So, I just tried making a payment in the Repairs category using Amex and it is going to the OTP page. So, I am not sure why you guys are facing issues. In case you are trying with an already saved card and it is saying 'Card not verified', just try to add the card again even if it is already in your saved list. It should work

For me its showing error "Please enter a valid card number" after I enter my AMEX card no.

If you can't achieve the milestone of 1.5L with geniune spends then why you are holding this card ?
Best option close it.

No. Nothing from the landlords side. You just have to enter the correct name as per PAN

Tried again, when I try to input my card number, the bottom continue button is greyed out. You have been lucky. Don't update your app.
