I just paid my mortgage, car loans, credit cards and such with my redbird/amex card to churn points/miles on my credit card. I just wanted people to know its possible to do so! If you are paying monthly on your mortgage why not use that money to acquire points to get free trips
Knowing it's possible is just bragging.
Please tell us HOW you do this.
There is actually already a thread on this.
http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/ask-a-mustachian/way-to-actually-pay-mortgage-with-credit-card/Basics: You can load a "prepaid" red card debit card at Target and there is no fee, and then you can use the billpay function with the redcard to pay a bill. It is VERY important you get the prepaid card and not just the normal debit card. Let me rephrase... it is VITAL you get the prepaid card.
Step 1: Get the card. (This can be the hard part. Its only available in select locations.)
Step 2: Load the card with a cash back/rewards credit card.
Step 3: Use billpay to pay bill.
You earn the cash back/rewards as if you made a purchase at Target. I'm actually running into a problem at step 2. I got the card while travelling, but none of the Targets near me have the updates for their POS terminals to be able to load the card. So I have the card, but I can't load it locally, only when I'm travelling....
