How is that a "small fee"?

Could you imagine if banks let people pay their mortgage on a credit card?

That would be nice! In Australia they sell mortgage loans with credit cards attached to the account. The idea is all of your pay gets deposited directly into your loan account and throughout the month you place all of your expenses on the credit card. At the end of the month you redraw from your mortgage and pay off the credit card in full. Your typical 20 year mortgage is cut down to 12 years.

However unlike in the USA mortgage interest is not tax deductible

Hi FatWallet Members,

One of our customers alerted us to this thread and we felt it worthwhile to respond. Our reputation as a new financial service is of utmost importance to us. I am co-founder of the business and neither I nor anyone employed by us have previously been a member of this forum prior to my joining. We do however plan to actively participate in blogs and forums as demonstrated by the existance of one of our employee's profile on ActiveRain. I spoke with him and he has not posted on this site.

Our website launched last week and I am happy someone on FatWallet has found our service useful. I understand that the price structure may seem expensive to many of you although we feel we've done the appropriate market research to address the value of what we provide.

Our service is backed by industry leading partners and Cardit.com holds a website identity assurance warranty of $10,000 through Comodo. This means that you are insured for up to $10,000 when relying on the information provided by Comodo's IdAuthority on our site.

There are also no hidden processing fees. We clearly explain the fee structure for users making a payment with our service before any transactions are completed.

I encourage anyone with concerns over the legitimacy of our business to contact us directly; our information is below.

Regards,

Philip Mikal

It's called an "offset mortgage". Related thread.

Wow, what a free advertisement here and in any other forum...

Anyway, majority of people here in this forum will not benefit from your services due to the fee structure.

I tried obtaining the fees or even getting more information. There were only four tabs or so and I kept finding myself back at the page requesting my personal information.

Please post a link that shows all of the fees associated with this product without having to give you all my personal information.

I agree. I understand that the hardest part in putting the website is to ensure that the eCommerce part works. But to attract customers, you need to put more information regarding the services you provide, fees, FAQs, etc. It makes you look a little bit more legitimate rather than a week-old company.

Talking like that without a license, seems like YOU'RE breaking some FEDERAL LAWS! You better be careful because the FBI might be knocking on your door soon!

Cash advance fees? How do you swing that?


alert mods    

Well I'm gonna green the OP, since my current offer is 5% back on every spend the 2.50% fee is a net 2.5% positive. If you have a Citi Driver's Edge or Citi Premier Pass Elite and earn a total of 2 Thank You points per dollar spent, and can make those worth 1.5 cents each in travel rewards (still pretty easy to do) then you're still coming out a shade ahead (0.5%). For some of you with giant mortgages, 1/2% per month isn't neglibile.

The website was registered in 1998. Not the kind of website I would give that much personal info to.

This is called "piercing the corporate veil" and I have a friend that got into some serious trouble doing this. Whenever you mix personal finances with business finances this way you are only looking for trouble. Beware.

Looks like the cofounder's post was deleted. Maybe his free advertisement did not go over well.
