Why should you use credit card for paying rent?

1. Get rewards for using credit card limit

Almost all credit card providers offer reward points for using the credit limit for online payment and transactions. While direct bank transfer does not brings you any benefit, if you use your credit card for rental payment, you can earn reward points on your credit card, which you can accumulate and redeem for buying flight tickets, restaurant vouchers or for online shopping, without any extra cost. That means your usual monthly payment can add extra benefit in your kitty, without any additional charge.

2. Keep your liquidity intact

You do not have to spend your bank account balance, as you can pay rent via credit card. If you have unused credit card limit available, you can use that to transfer the amount to your landlord’s bank account, using ecis2016.org Pay Rent option. The online payment made will be shown in your credit card bill statement, which you can pay before the due date to avoid the finance charges. Suppose, your salary day is 7th while your landlords prefer rent on the 1st of every month and your credit card bill is generated on the 15th with a due date of the 3rd of the next month. You can transfer the rent on time and pay the credit card bill before the due date, with your account balance. This way you can defer the cycle by almost a month.

3. Improve your credit score

Using your credit card limit and timely repayment also helps in boosting your credit score and creating a healthy credit history. This will help you in enhancing your loan eligibility. Apart from this, your credit utilisation health is also important for improving your credit score. Suppose, your credit limit is Rs 1 lakh and more than 50% of your limit remains unutilised for a long time, your credit score might slip a few points, because of this. If you are using your credit limit to pay big amounts and if you are repaying the debt on time, you are considered as a disciplined borrower.

4. Opt for EMI moratorium

If there has been a salary delay or deduction at your workplace, due to the Coronavirus pandemic and your landlord is not agreeing to defer your rent, you can simply use your credit card to transfer the amount and opt for the EMI moratorium, to postpone your credit card bill payment for three months. As recently announced by the RBI, all banks have to extend the EMI holiday for retail loans, including credit card payments, as well. However, do not forget that you have to pay additional finance charges to the bank, for deferring the card payment.
