Bills, bills, bills.<\/p>\n

If you are forced to pay for Wi-Fi, electricity and\/or insurance, those unavoidable monthly expenses can certainly add up. Plus, moving or switching utility providers can add an additional charge to the ever-growing list of inevitable payments.<\/p>\n

If you choose to pay bills with your credit card<\/a>, you’ll find that many of these charges fall outside of typical bonus categories<\/a> on most cards. So, if you’re into maximizing your spending<\/a> and saving where you can, you may think you’re out of luck.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, that isn’t always<\/em> the case. With eligible credit cards, you could leverage targeted offers via American Express<\/a> or Chase<\/a> to save money on utility bills. Or, if you hold the Bilt Mastercard\u00ae<\/a><\/span> (see rates and fees<\/a>), you could double your points on certain payments if you pay on Bilt Rent Day<\/a>. Know, though, that Bilt Mastercard cardholders must use the card five times each statement period to earn points (see rewards and benefits<\/a>).<\/p>\n

With all of this in mind, here’s how I’m saving on my utility bills each month.<\/p>\n

Earn bonus points and get cash back on utility bills<\/h2>\n

I’m currently in the middle of a move, so it’s important for me to save anywhere I can while stacking up points.<\/p>\n

I’ve been utilizing offers from my American Express\u00ae Gold Card<\/a><\/span> and my Chase Sapphire Preferred\u00ae Card<\/a>, as well as making the most of Rent Day in the Bilt Rewards program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, since many of these offers are targeted, you’ll have to personally check your accounts to see if you’re eligible for the deals I’ve redeemed. You also have to activate these offers before you redeem them.<\/p>\n

I utilized three Amex Offers that helped me save on two recent bills. I activated an offer to get $5 back after spending $50 or more on cable or internet bill payments made directly with the provider using my Amex card<\/a>.<\/p>\n
