If you're not in the service area. The site will block you from viewing them.
However I can pull up the CC by going to the banks that FNBO supplies this card to.

The CC is called the Business edition with category rewards.
LOL--Turns out this is the card I already have and it's been earning pts the whole 3 years and 3 mos and I didn't even realize it. I've been putting most of my eBay shipping on this card the whole time. Only thing is the points start expiring after 3 years....so I just ordered a $50 Red Loster GC with some of the 63xx pts. I already had.
Plastiq is now coding mortgage payments as utilities? Interesting. I use my PayPal MC Debit that doesn't show you category coding for charges, and my PP Cashback MC just shows "PayPal backup funding". Oh well, I don't have anything better than 2% for utilities and the PP Debit/MC combo gives me 3%, covering Plastiq's fee with a bit extra. But the last time I used my Cap One QS, well over a year ago, I'm pretty sure it showed up as hotel/travel, but my QS is a Visa which doesn't work for mortgage any longer.

I'm guessing any charge through Plastiq will code as Utilities.

My rent is due the first of the month. When should I submit a transaction through Plastiq in order for the payment to reach my landlord by the 1st? Don’t want to screw around with potentially being late.
When you’re setting up payments, Plastiq asks when you need the payment to arrive by and you select a day on a calendar. Some payments are made electronically and others by check via post office. Yours will probably be sent by check in the mail, so I’d suggest selecting a much earlier date than the 1st. Based on the day you select, Plastiq decides when to charge your credit card so don’t wait too long because they may not have enough time to process and deliver payment, or they may want to charge you an additional fee.

It is 8 business days (Sundays excluded) for them to send out a check via snail mail. They did start offering an "expedited" delivery service that is only 2-3 business days but is prohibitively expensive ($50+ extra) to do. So, to reach by the first, I would imagine the 20th to 22nd of the month would get it there without much issue.

FWIW, I've used Plastiq with my AMEX Green for my rent a few times
It shows up as "TAX PAYMENT" on my statement.
