How do I pay my rent with a credit card?

Online payment modes have picked up in the past 5-7 years especially after demonetization. With many apps, and services available on your fingertips it has become convenient to make payments. If you are someone who still wonders how do I pay my rent with a credit card, then I am here to help. 

Before telling you how to pay rent with a credit card, I will highlight some benefits of paying rent with a credit card.

• It is a secure payment method

• You can have an electronic proof of rent payment

• You can earn cashbacks and reward points among other offers

See I have been living in a rented accommodation for the past many years. I find payment via credit card quite convenient and rewarding. I use NoBroker Pay to make rent payments via credit card. Here is what I get:

1. Cashback: They have a cashback carnival going on. We can have a cashback between Rs. 100 to Rs. 1000.

2. Renter’s club: I have invited a few friends and have availed 50% off on processing fee

3. Earned points: I have a mastercard and so far I have earned 18000 reward points

4. I don’t have to ask for a rent receipt from my landlord. I get an automatically generated rent payment receipt which is helpful to have when claiming HRA.

5. So far, the payment process has been smooth and secure and that is reassuring.

Now if someone comes up and asks how can i pay my rent with a credit card, you have an answer.

I live in a rented apartment in Delhi and my landlord is very particular about rent payment. Even a day’s delay creates hassle. During lockdown I was facing financial difficulties and I tried reasoning with him to at least wait for a few extra days for the rent but I failed to convince him and asking for money from someone else wasn’t a feasible option. I had my credit card but I didn’t know how can I pay my rent with a credit card. I googled and thankfully there were a bunch of options available.

I can give you a list of options to pay your rent through credit card but here is what I chose. 

It was pretty simple. I registered and set up my account on NoBroker Pay and then added the details of my landlord’s bank account. Then I just made payment through my credit card and sent the screenshot to my landlord. 

I used my HDFC Bank credit card and I received reward points too. I was happy and satisfied as it was literally a baggage off my shoulders.

Considering what is unfolding these days, if you get stuck in a similar situation, don’t hesitate to pay your rent through credit card. I repaid it in no time and so will you I know :)
