My bank will do this from my checking account but obviously that doesn't earn miles.
The business model for williampaid is to pay rent, but basically it just cuts a check to whomever you designate. You can basically set your third party as a landlord and send them a check. 2.95% fee, so it is not cheap, but in theory you can send yourself a check. I have been using this site for more than a year, grandfathered to 2.45%, use it to meet minimum spend. I hate the website and user interface, not intuitive, but it does the job.
