Best Creditcard to Pay Rent for Reward Points

Hi Oz bargainers
I like to get points for my rental payments fortnightly.
I have the Amex charge card, Platinum edge and Commbank platinum reward.
Can you please suggest me the best way to connect one of those cards for my rental payment with my estate agent and get better points.
I have no idea how to connect credit card to pay the rents and get reward points?
Is there any option to connect above credit cards by post bill pay or pay pal or BPay to pay rent without any extra charge?
Anybody knows about RE Connect oneCard which was the option given by my estate agent to connect my credit card to pay rent?

    You'll probably find you won't be able to pay by credit card.

    However that aside, assuming you can use a card, you say you have 3 cards. Perhaps sit down and work out what the points are worth for each (how many points you get per dollar, what the points will buy you), and then work out the best one to use.

    Or have I misunderstood your question?

      You can actually pay for rent by credit card if there is a payment system that can process the credit card. Having to pay for the credit card surcharge or not is another matter.

  • probably not a good idea to pay rent with a credit card, just sayin'

  • Even if a CC is accepted, they might pass on the merchant fee.

  • If you can pay via Paypal - Then any card that can earn the most points.

    If not, ANZ Black allows you to earn points for B-Payments.

    *Check that there is no charges. Maybe make a small payment first to test if you are charged an extra 2% etc.

  • I have the option of paying my rent on credit but they add 2 or 3% (cant remember) surcharge on. I also want Qantas points but I don't think they are worth paying extra for.

  • I have option to pay my rent $1600 a month. but they will charge me 1.5% = $24 each month.

    Is the any reward point of VISA or MASTERCARD worth $24? I wonder…

      No. Never has been worth it (for any reward card) to choose to pay an additional cash fee to get a handful extra points.

  • I enquired my estate agent they provided me the option to connect my credit card by ReConnect onecard and requested me to register.
    Anybody knows about this option of connecting the credit card to pay rent regularly.I read the documents in website but its not clear to me.
