Fast Points: Save cash and earn bonus points on utilities and insurance

Invoices, invoices, invoices.

If you’re forced to pay for Wi-Fi, electricity and/or insurance, those inevitable monthly costs can certainly add up. Additionally, moving or switching utility providers can add an additional fee to the growing list of unavoidable payments.

If you choose pay the bill with your credit cardYou will find that many of these fees are outside the normal range bonus categories on most cards. So if you are interested Maximize your spending and save where you can, you might think you’re out of luck.

Thankfully, that’s not the case always case. With an eligible credit card, you can take advantage of targeted offers through American Express or Chase to save money on utility bills. Or if you keep Mastercard® card (see exchange rates and fees), you can double your points on certain payments if you pay on Bilt rental day. However, know that Bilt Mastercard cardholders must use the card five times per statement period to earn points (see rewards and benefits).

With all this in mind, here’s how I save on my utility bills each month.

I used the offers from me American Express® Gold Card and my Chase Sapphire Preferred® Cardas well as making the most of Inner Tenancy Day Bilt Rewards Program.

However, since many of these offers are targeted, you’ll have to check your account yourself to see if you qualify for the offers I redeemed. You must also activate these offers before redeeming them.

I used three Amex Deals to help me save on two bills recently. I have activated the $5 back offer after spending $50 or more on cable or internet bill payments made directly with the provider using my account. Amex card.

I noticed a statement credit was applied to my account a few days after I made a $55 AT&T Fiber payment with my Amex Gold; I plan to use this offer for the next two months before my move is complete in July.

I also used two Amex Deals to pay for my first renters insurance. I was targeted for two separate offers to get 10% and 5% back on my insurance bill.

My first renters insurance bill was $48.34. Since I activated both offers before making the payment, the total return was $7.25 for the two statement credits.

Additionally, I plan to activate my new AT&T Fiber account for Wi-Fi when I move to a new location. My action plan: I have one Chasing credit cards that will help me save on this purchase.

Thanks to the Pursuit Offer I activated, I plan to pay with my Sapphire Preferred to get $50 cash back on my subscription purchase.

Finally, since I don’t have any cashback offers or credit cards with electricity rewards, I use it MasterCard on Rent Day to pay my electricity bill.

Every purchase made on the first of the month with my Bilt Mastercard earns 2x Bilt Points, so I earned 118 points on my most recent $59.85 bill. Bilt points transfer to many loyalty programs, including World of Hyatt And Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan.

Even though it was technically posted on May 2nd, I still received double points more than a week after I made the payment on May 1st.
