The biggest CC sign up bonuses require as much as 10k in spending the first three months but are worth as much as $1,500-2,000.
I see you can pay your property tax online with a credit card in SD for a 2.1% fee. Same for my HOA dues, but a flat $15 fee that is only 1% for a $1500 prepayment.
Between these and normal shopping this should be some easy money.
I was considering paying 14K in property taxes which would cost $280 then invest the funds in DSL DoubleLine Income Solutions Fund which is a closed end fund which yields about 9%.
I have 18 months of interest free period so in that time would earn $2050.
I’ve owned this fund for a while and it’s pretty solid.
The credit card would pay back the 2% of the 2.17% so the net cost of the funds would be $24 or 0.17% so net earnings (in taxable cash) would be $2025.
I would use the citibank double cash. I opened a new account to get a fresh 18 month interest free period.
