161 cards issued today name rent in their own rules. 12 of them still pay on it; the other 149 pay nothing on rent.

Every card issued today whose bank still pays on a rent payment, lowest fee first. Rent posts under its own merchant code, 6513, and a card is listed only when its bank’s rules name that code. Each line is the bank’s own rule for rent with its cap; the line under it is what the card earns on everything else. Fees a rent platform charges are not counted here.
