Bank will not let me pay mortgage with a CC. I was looking at bluebird (they have checks). Can I fund the bluebird account with my cc then write checks from it to pay mortgage?

I am trying to understand how this works.

I am lost on all this Vanilla Visa, Serve, and bluebird stuff. I would like to preform a little Manufactured Spending as well.

I do not want millions of miles, I am just looking for 1 flight a year from LFT to MNL. current cost of the ticket I just paid and for the last 5 years always been around $1,300.

I have not signed up to any reward programs yet, but i think my only 2 choices ate American & United.
