It was great because I setup my credit card with them to automatically pay my bill every month so I never had to worry about being late. I was ranking up the miles on my AMEX there

Yeah, i asked my landlord about that, and they charge an extra $20 if i want to put my rent on my CC.... so, that loses all its value for me.

Although most people cannot pay rent with their cc, there are other ways to rack up rewards/points/miles.
Utilities - cable, satellite, water, garbage, electricity, gas, etc.
Car insurance, etc.

Yeah I know. I was using my cc for all of those anyway. I just thought that the rent could be added as a huge chunk to my mileage accruement every month.

Yeah I know what you mean. Unfortunately I think it's the fees/possible chargebacks which deter most landlords/property management companies from accepting cc's as payment.

How do you use a CC to pay for utilities etc? I guess I'm a fool, I'm paying them out of my checking account using my bank's online bill pay feature.....

By going to the utility companies website and selecting pay with credit card (assuming that payment option is available).
Unfortunately my electric company doesn't accept cc payments online, so we pay those via online banking.
I forgot one, cell phones!!!!
