Rewards minus fees, twelve payments a year. A negative number means a card costs you money.
When a card is worth it
The fee usually beats the reward, except when it unlocks a sign-up bonus. Example: someone who already puts $1,000 a month on a card could pay 2 rent payments of $1,800 by card for about $106 in fees, reach the Chase Sapphire Preferred bonus, and keep about $549 after fees and the annual fee. Then switch back to the bank account. Run your own numbers.
Watch out for
This works only if the landlord collects rent through Zillow Rental Manager. Money can take up to 5 business days to reach the landlord.
