 Subject: Pay mortgage with Rebate Card?
 
 Hello-
 
 Does anyone out their have or heard of a mortgage lender who allows them to
 pay their mortgage with a credit card, especially a rebate card? My brother
 heard that Norwest will? We use Bell Atlantic/Chase Visa and have been very
 happy with the customer service, other than I have to send in an endorsed
 paper check  made out to Bell Atlantic that they have mailed to me.
 (instead of just crediting my account.) Duh. I wonder how hard they hope
 that people won't go to the trouble of sending in the check. Anyway, we are
 thinking of refinancing, and if I can refinance with someone who allow me
 to use a rebate card (even if it is another card, like Private Issue), that
 would be COOL. I called Chase, who has my current mortgage (as well as the
 VISA), and they said no to the paying with credit card. Any info would be
 appreciated. (If anyone wants to email me directly, my email is changing.
 Please use one of the following addresses:
 mtnola@yahoo.com      mandp@doubled.com
 
 Thanks,

For whatever it's worth, Michael, another option is to do your next home
mortgage refinancing (first mortgage or second or home equity line) with one
fo the frequent flier programs affiliated with a lender.  Putting frequent
flier miles in your account because of your home is an awesome way to build
that balance!
