Looking for an easy way to complete minimum spending requirements or earn extra miles & points?  Now Plastiq is giving you a way to do it!

Plastiq will have a reduced fee of 1.75% when you use a Mastercard credit card to schedule 6+ future rent or mortgage payments through September 30, 2016, at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. 

I’ll show you how to lock-in the lower transaction fee.

Plastiq is lowering their fee for rent or mortgage payments!  But in order to qualify, you must follow these rules:

• Schedule 6 or more payments, as far into the future as you’d like
• Make sure those payments are for rent or mortgage
• Use a MasterCard
• Do it before September 30, 2016, 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time

This is a great way to help folks meet minimum spending requirements.  Especially after RadPad abruptly ended their free rent promotion yesterday!

For example, if you recently signed-up for the Bank of America Virgin Atlantic credit card, and are trying to figure out how to spend $12,000 in 6 months to earn 50,000 Virgin Atlantic miles, this could help you with a good portion of your spending!

This deal is also a great way to earn extra credit card rewards inexpensively.  Think of it as buying points at a discount.

For example, if you use your Citi® / AAdvantage® Platinum Select® World Elite™ Mastercard® card to pay 4,000 in rent, you will receive 4,000 American Airlines points for a fee of $68. ($4,000 rent payment X 1.75% service charge = $68 fee)  That’s $50 cheaper than you would pay for the same amount of miles on the American Airlines website!  And, you can save the points toward Big Travel!

You can also use cards like the Citi Double Cash Card  or Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite Mastercard, which both earn at least 2X in rewards. With the Citi Double Cash card, you’d get 1% cash back on purchases and 1% cash back on payments. Using these cards more than makes up for the transaction fee, but won’t earn many extra rewards.

The information for the Citi AAdvantage Platinum Select, Citi Double Cash card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

Still, if you’re trying to unlock a sign-up bonus, this could be a quick way to do it.  As always, run the numbers to make sure this deal is worth it for your situation!
