If you use it to pay your mortgage

$1,008 to pay $1,000 mortgage then to pay off your credit card you'll need to use a check or billpay option from your bank account to pay off your credit card.... in the end I don't really see how there's really much benefits by using ice cream to pay your mortgage.

It just creates more hassles like stated earlier, its much more straight forward with card > amex gift card > williamspaid imo
Paying mortgage using BB is to change the payment method from Check to Credit Card indirectly, which I am more comfortable with. Paying CC using BB (especially the bill that uses to buy VR) sounds like ... (I understand it is legal but I think that goes too far IMO)

BTW, I don't understand how much more hassle to use BB to pay mortgage. I have to use bill pay option to pay off my credit cards since I don't use it for VR only.

Slow and Gentle, and I believe this game can hang on a bit longer. (Well, it will be dead some time anyways)
