Business rent, whether office premises, retail space or warehousing can cost tens of thousands every year. With RewardPay you can pay this expense on your credit card and earn points. RewardPay lets you pay business rent with your Amex even if your landlord or property manager doesn’t accept credit cards.
Get Started
Whether you run a shop, office, factory, medical practice, construction company, restaurant, warehouse, farm—or anything in between—your business likely has major monthly expenses like rent. The problem? Many landlords only accept direct bank payments, meaning you miss out on earning rewards on some of your largest monthly outgoings. With RewardPay, you can turn those unavoidable payments into valuable rewards. The points you earn can quickly add up to business‑class flights or luxury travel —simply by paying smarter for the expenses your business already has. Paying rent by credit card through RewardPay can also improve your cash flow, giving you extra days before funds leave your account—without changing how or when your landlord gets paid.
Pay NZ$10,000 per month in rent with an American Express Platinum Card or American Express Airpoints Platinum Card, and that’s NZ$120,000 per year.
With the American Express Platinum Card, you could earn up to 240,000 Membership Rewards® points annually (2 Membership Rewards points per NZ$1 spent). Alternatively, with the American Express Airpoints Platinum Card, you could earn up to 1,714 Airpoints Dollars™ annually (1 Airpoints Dollar™ per NZ$70 spent) — enough to put towards multiple domestic flights or international travel with Air New Zealand.
Paying rent through RewardPay also helps preserve cash flow while turning one of your largest business expenses into valuable travel rewards.

Every dollar you spend on your Rent and other business expenses is a dollar that could be earning you rewards points. Unlike paying direct from your bank account, where you receive nothing in return, using a credit card through RewardPay converts your business spend into points that can be redeemed for flights, hotel stays, gift cards and more. For a business paying $200,000+ annually in rent plus tax, payroll and other expenses, this could mean earning enough points for a couple of return business class flights—value that would otherwise be left on the table.
Credit cards provide a crucial buffer between when your bills are due and when you actually need to settle the payment. With up to 55 days interest-free (depending on your card's billing cycle), you can pay your everyday business payments while keeping your business or personal cash available for urgent expenses, taking advantage of investment opportunities, or waiting for customer invoices to be paid. This short-term financing is provided at no interest cost, unlike a traditional business loan or overdraft facility.
Go beyond your credit card rewards. With RewardPay, you can top up your Partner Points on every business payment you make. Choose to earn extra Koru Airpoints™, ALL Accor Reward points or Luxury Escapes Société Points—exactly when you need them—to secure a business or first‑class flight, or a luxury hotel stay for yourself, your family, or your team. You’re not limited to just one rewards partner. With RewardPay, you can boost points across all three programs with every eligible payment and truly maximise your rewards.
