(4/14 – Just a reminder that this promotion ends on 4/18 so if you didn’t see it before or meant to do it but forgot, you only have a few more days)
I got an email last night from Plastiq, the company that lets you pay mortgage or rent (or anything else) with a credit card. Â I have been paying the mortgages on my rental houses with Plastiq for several months. Â I also recently paid my property taxes with Plastiq
(SEE ALSO: My experiences using Plastiq to pay mortgages for “free” money)
I had not had any problems using Plastiq to pay my mortgage and other bills until this past month. Â Twice, my mortgage company refused my payment with Plastiq, though supposedly they have everything worked out. Â I’m going to wait until my next month’s payment processes before I declare everything entirely fixed.
There is a fee to use Plastiq – the standard fees are 2.5% for a credit card or 1% for a debit card, though they do often run promotions. Â Last year there was a promotion that got the fee down to 1.75% and there is currently a promotion on American Express cards.
Promotional Plastiq email
Yesterday, I got an email from Plastiq with the subject line “Earn more rewards when you refer friends”. Â Turns out that Plastiq is running a special for new accounts
Normally if you sign up with Plastiq with a referral link, you will earn 200 Fee Free Dollars (FFD) after making your first payment of $20 or more. From now until April 18, 2017, you’ll instead get 400 FFDs after making that $20 payment.
I use my AT&T Access More card, which gives 3x ThankYou points on online purchases, including Plastiq.  A Barclaycard Arrival Plus World Elite MasterCard® would be another decent option.
My referral code is at Plastiq and feel free to leave your own referral codes in the comments

Am I missing something? Didn’t the Amex offer expire 2/28/17? If there is another one, that would be exciting.
Used your referral code (Posted in the Article) and only got $200 FFD Credit…Bummer! C’mon Dan, update the link in the article!!!
This is what my New Account Page Says:
Code 459259 Applied: You’ll get 200 FFDs after you make your first payment.
I used Mary Anns referral code but it also was only for 200. ??
