RentHero extending 1.85% rental payment promo till June 2020

RentHero is maintaining its 1.85% rental payment fee for a further 6 months, allowing the purchase of miles from 1.14 cents each.

In July this year, RentHero cut the admin fee on rent payments for Milelion users from 1.9% to 1.85%. This allowed users to buy miles from as low as 1.14 cents each, depending on the card used.

RentHero has informed me that they’re extending this promotion till 30 June 2020.

Sign up for RentHero and enjoy a 1.85% fee

All users who sign up via the link above will enjoy a rate of 1.85% until 30 June 2020, after which they’ll enjoy a rate of 1.9% for all payments up till 12 months from their sign up date. This same benefit applies to existing users and should be automatically applied to your future payments (if not, look out for a promo code sent to your email). 

How does this affect the cost per mile?

Here’s what a 1.85% fee means for your cost per mile:

CardMPDCents Per Mile
DBS Altitude VisaKrisFlyer UOB Credit Card
SCB X Card
1.21.51

HSBC Visa Infinite (≥$50K spending in past year)

1.251.45
UOB PRVI MilesSCB Visa Infinite (≥$2K per month)UOB Visa Infinite Metal Card1.41.30
BOC Elite Miles World Mastercard1.51.21
UOB ReserveDBS Insignia1.61.14
Citi and OCBC do not award points for rental payments, and RentHero cannot guarantee you’ll earn points with these cards

I’m assuming the UOB Reserve and DBS Insignia are out of reach to most people, but otherwise you can buy miles at 1.21 cents with the BOC Elite Miles World Mastercard, or 1.3 cents with the UOB PRVI Miles card.

How to make a payment with RentHero

In case you need a refresher, here’s a quick guide to getting started with RentHero. You can access the 1.85% admin fee by signing up through The Milelion’s link. Once done, you should be directed to this sign up page.

After signing up, you’ll receive an email with your 1.85% promo code. This is for future transactions- your first transaction will in any case reflect the discounted 1.85% rate already. There’s no limit to the number of transactions you can make with your 1.85% promo code.

You’ll see your dashboard after that. Click on the “Get Started” box to pay rent with your credit card.

You’ll be prompted to enter your monthly rental amount, and whether you want to make a one-time or monthly payment. You should see the discounted service fee of 1.85% automatically on the top right of your screen.

Follow the instructions to create and activate your account. Once done, you’ll be brought back to the RentHero platform where you’ll enter your landlord’s details and upload the tenancy agreement.

The final step is to enter your credit card details.

That’s it! You’ll see a summary of your scheduled rental payments. Be sure to double check that the 1.85% admin fee is properly reflected. If the first rental due date is the earliest possible date that can be chosen on RentHero, payment will be charged immediately. Otherwise, payments are charged at 2pm on the charge date.

You can subsequently edit transactions if you need to, but the service fee will revert to the default 2.25%. It’s better to delete the transaction and add it back again as a new payment to enjoy the 1.85% rate.

All payments should be made at least 6 business days in advance if the rental due date falls on a weekend/public holiday, or 5 business days in advance otherwise.

Any questions or tech support requests can be sent to the RentHero team at [email protected]
