Everyone is looking for the best credit cards list so this is a complete article on the best credit cards for Rent Payments. Only a handful of such cards exist nowadays since most banks are tightening their noose on rental payments and wallet loads using credit cards.

This list along with our Rent Payment Guide will help you get the best rewards and practices around it.




I have made a very specific list especially as the noose around the rental payments is getting tighter and tighter by the banks every month. Since rental payment is a significant expense for every household I recommend everyone to get a card from this list if they have a rental property, school fees, or maintenance charges to be paid every month.


So if you are into international travel then Axis Magnus looks best since then you will be able to complete the 1L monthly milestone by paying your monthly rent. Magnus works even if you want vouchers from your card or else Standard Chartered Ultimate is the ultimate winner. For domestic travel Axis Vistara Infinite or SBI Vistara Prime would be an ideal choice if you can complete those milestones. If you like direct statement credits then Standard Chartered Smart is the best option.

Will new payzapp show it as an insurance payment like the old payzapp, or will it pick up rental mrcc. No point if it picks up rental MRCC since the payment won't qualify for rewards or milestone benefits and will also bear a processing charge from redgiraffe as well as Axis.
Don’t make it public haha hope its getting as insurance as confirmed by other ppl

Can add the fix in new payzapp by which we can use magnus by red giraffe
Can you clearly tell how can we use Magnus for rent payment and still earn rewards and milestone benefit? I read other post but didn’t understand. We add money in Payzapp wallet and then open red giraffe and chose Payzapp as payment method? Or is there any other procedure?

How are we sure till now that it’s being counted in milestone? Because rules are applied from March 5, so none of them would’ve received their rewards by now. Is there any way to check that this particular spend is being eligible for 1L milestone?

No we have to trial and error only
Bcos worst part with magnus is that 120 daydreams then only reality

With Axis, HDFC and now Standard Chartered introducing charges on rental payments and no rewards or cap on reward points, can we update the analysis in best cards for rent payments
Has Standard Chartered started charging extra for rent payment through cc? I couldn't find any such info. In their website? For which Cc are they charging extra?
