By not escrowing you get to use credit cards to pay your mortgage, and you can use postal money orders or official billpay sites to bypass Plastiq. If you have CSR or Ink Preferred that codes as travel this wouldn’t apply, but many people don’t.

Why not just keep it safe and simple, use escrow, and then pay your mortgage with plastiq?

If you have a CSR, it is likely more profitable NOT to remove escrow now that Plastiq codes as travel…

Yes, I was thinking just that. Until CSR stops paying 3x for this.

what’s going on with PayPal Digital Gifts? I had a couple thousand dollars worth of gift cards last year that went $0 balance and it took forever to get the money back.

I thought they got that all straightened out (from what I recall, it was some kind of hack)…
