We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    On March 5, 2015, WilliamPaid will stop accepting rent payments.

    You Will Not Be Able to Use WilliamPaid to Pay Your Rent Starting March 5, 2015

    So folks who’ve been using WilliamPaid to pay their rent with credit cards will have to use other options.  I’ll explain!

    WilliamPaid Will Stop Accepting Rent Payments

    Link:   WilliamPaid Will Stop Accepting Rent Payments

    I wrote about WilliamPaid before and used it once, but didn’t like having to pay a fee.  But for some folks it was a good way to help meet minimum spending.

    However, at 11:59 pm Central Standard Time on March 5, 2015 , you will NOT be able to use WilliamPaid to pay your rent.  That’s because WilliamPaid is closing.

    Say GoodBye to Earning Miles and Points Paying Rent With WilliamPaid

    But there are still ways to pay your rent with a credit card.

    How to Earn Miles & Points by Paying Your Rent

    You can buy gift cards and load your Bluebird or Serve and send your landlord a check (Bluebird), send a check via Serve, or write a check to pay your rent.

    Or you can load up to $200 per day and up to $1,000 per month from your credit card to your Serve and pay your rent with your Serve account.

    Note:   You’ll pay fees of ~$4 to ~$7 to buy each gift card.
    Use Credit Cards to Buy Gifts Cards, Load to Bluebird, Then Send Your Landlord a Rent Check

    You can also use rental payment services.  But they charge fees when you use your credit card.  And those can really add up!

    And other services like RentPayment.com charge fees of ~$25 or more.  But some landlords will pay the fee.  Maybe your landlord will. 🙂

    So it might not make sense to use those rental payment services unless you have a lot of minimum spending.

    You’ll Pay a 2.99% Fee to Use RadPad

    Bottom Line

    WilliamPaid is closing.  You will NOT be able to use WilliamPaid to pay your rent with a credit card on March 5, 2015 at 11:59 pm Central Standard Time and onward.

    But you can write or send your landlord a check with Bluebird after you’ve loaded your account with gift cards bought with a credit card.

    And you can load your Serve with a credit card or gift cards and send your payment via Serve.

    You can also use rental payment services like RadPad, but they charge high fees.  So it might not be worth it unless you have to meet minimum spending.
