 TITLE: Can You Pay Rent With a Credit Card? CONTENT: Other Ways to Give Your Credit a Lift\n-------------------------------------\nIf you were hoping to pay rent with a credit card to help build credit history, but you can't stomach the fees, there are other strategies. For example, keep your credit card balances low, pay all your bills on time each month and sign up for Experian Boost™† —a free way to count certain utility payments toward your credit score.\nAnother option is using a service such as RentTrack that reports your on-time rent payments to the three major credit bureaus. Rent payments aren't typically reported to credit bureaus, and using a service that does report them could help build a positive history and lift your credit scores (as long as you pay on time). END
