Rent rewards referral codes
Rent is the largest payment most UK households make, and almost none of it earns anything, because landlords and letting agents take bank transfer. Card-payment platforms exist to bridge that gap: they charge your card, then pay the landlord by ordinary transfer, for a percentage fee. Paying rent by card turns the biggest bill of the month into card rewards and Amex points, and we set the platform fee beside the reward so you see exactly what you earn. Payr is the UK platform we cover.

Rent questions
Does a new Payr user get a welcome bonus?
No. Payr's invite programme pays £30 to the person who invited you once you complete three payments, and Payr publishes no joining bonus for the new tenant. What a new user gets is the service itself — the ability to put rent on a card, including Amex, where the agent only accepts bank transfer.
What does paying rent by card actually cost?
Payr charges a 1.99% payment execution fee on every payment, shown in the total before you confirm. That is £19.90 on £1,000 of rent and £29.85 on £1,500 — roughly £240 to £360 a year on a typical tenancy.
When is it worth paying a fee to put rent on a card?
Mainly when the spending is doing a second job: clearing a credit card's welcome-bonus minimum spend, or covering a genuine short-term cashflow gap more cheaply than an unarranged overdraft. On ordinary rewards earn rates, the fee costs more than the points return.
