Yes.

Why not pay rent using the card? Some card issuers consider gift cards and gaming the system and flag it. You will find all kids of exp when you search online. AMEX closed lots of accounts last year for same issue.
I just pay rent to reach the limit.

I’d love to do that, except my place has a huge fee for paying with credit card. I expect most apartments do as well.

They pushed back.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
