All payments coding as online are hit and miss. Sometimes it codes as online, sometimes it doesn't. YMMV.

Most recent rent payment coded as "Miscellaneous - REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND MANAGERS RENTALS". Won't be able to see if it earned 3X until my statement cycles, but I'm hopeful now! Meanwhile, the retention offer kicked in as promised.

Rent through Plastiq combined the rent and fee, coded as "Miscellaneous - REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND MANAGERS RENTALS", and earned triple points. Statement just closed yesterday.

I have a chance to covert an old Citi card to this card. Since it's a conversion, I won't be eligible for the bonus. Do you think the card is worth it sans bonus?

It depends on how you use it. Over $10k, you get your annual fee credit in points.

If you value ThankYou points and use it to pay your rent or mortgage via Plastiq it is an amazing point generator. When Plastic had a Mastercard promo for recurring payments at 1.75%, I scheduled through 2020 and am walking away with a nice point profit every month.

Seems like all the rent/mortgage payments are now coding as Miscellaneous Government Services and no long Miscellaneous - REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND MANAGERS RENTALS

Maybe a Glitch or maybe Citi is changing how it codes to avoid giving out 3X

Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

Scroll back only a few days (11 April) to find the opposite. The coding is controlled by Plastiq, not by Citi:

That's good to know that Plastiq is coding.

All my rent/ mortgage payments are now coding miscellaneous- Government services while before they were coding to real estate and manager rentals

Not sure if that is permanent or a glitch in the system

I scheduled a couple years of mortgage payments at 1.75%. However with the very latest reports I might have to switch the card from ATT to CSR to get 3x points. I'm not sure whether swapping the card will kill the promotional rate. I also don't recall whether my promotion required paying mortgage with MC specifically, or just paying mortgage.

That was for MasterCard only:

Thanks. I'm going to do a couple test payments now to see how it codes. I'll likely have to rely on others' reports of what the "Miscellaneous- Government Services" category earns (almost surely 1x), assuming it codes as such, because unlike with Chase it's never been clear to me how you actually see the number of points that a specific transaction earns.

Another quick DP: I just noticed that SF County property taxes changed from coding in Real Estate last December to Utilities last month. Oops. Alameda County property taxes still coded as Real Estate last month, however.

Update: For ATT the pending mortgage test payment is now coding as MISC GOVERNMENT SERVICES, as reported elsewhere. Not yet clear how the CSR charge is going to code.

Maybe a Glitch or maybe Citi is changing how it codes to avoid giving out 3X

Anyone else having this issue? Thanks.

Everyone who got government services should notify Plastiq to fix the problem. Maybe we can get this fixed like last time in January (according to @sode0076's post).

Plastiq for rent, tuition, utilities, etc.(2017):

Hmm, when did this happen? I just looked at my statement that closed on April 14th. My Wells Fargo Mortgage payment posted on March 23rd as "Miscellaneous - REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND MANAGERS RENTALS" and got the usual 3X TYPs. Will keep an eye out when my payment posts for this month. Hope this gets resolved.
