I'm interested in applying for the Amex platinum in the next 4-6 months. I want to make sure i hit the minimum spend for the SUB, and being able to pay rent would make it much easier to hit spend. Currently my landlord takes payment via me transfering cash directly from my BofA account to her BofA account.
Can i use plastiq to do this? I've heard people being able to use their Amex with plastiq to send money, but i'm not sure about sending cash to their account. Is this an option?
Cannot be done.. once again ill post a chart where a simple search on the forum would yield same results, but regardless hopefully this helps.

Residential rent including to banks, is checked green. Which is why i asked.
I just attempted this to pay for a studio I'm renting in the Bay Area and it gave me an error stating American Express cards cannot be used for this transaction. Went to Visa and it stated that it may be counted as a cash advance transaction.
I just gave up on the whole thing and used PayPal.

This!
Seriously! They wanted the guy I rent the studio from to verify his banking info, which was easy enough.. THEN they wanted a copy of the lease.. which I had to dig though prior tax documents for. Scanned that in, and then it tells me I can't use Amex, and I'll trip the cash advance fee on Visa. I was only going to try it as they gave me a credit for $50 in fees, so it would've netted me some nice MR or UR points.
Not worth the headache, so I just paid as I normally do though paypal and my checking.

You can use Plastiq to send money via ACH transfer.

Perfect. Do you know if it gets coded as cash advance for Amex if you do this?
I guess i could just create a Plastiq account and play around with it, in the meantime.
