tylergalpinon RadPad Rent Checks Bouncing – Beginning of the End?

Technical hiccup with one of our APIs. Super annoying, I know.

Funds from renters we charge for rent payments are paid out from a special account only for rent payments, so we don't use that money at all. We do not dip into those funds whatsoever, under any circumstances.

We’re looking for that rare individual who is highly skilled in their abilities, wants to make a direct impact on RadPad and thrives around other intelligent, creative minded teammates.

tylergalpinon Pay your rent with a Credit or Debit card. No landlord signup required

We're working on the ability to use your successful rent payments to contribute to your credit score, which is a huge benefit for folks like me who have no established credit in the US (or bad credit).

$4.95 to put it on your debit card though

Sometimes your paycheck doesn't arrive on time to pay your rent, and paying on a credit card to absorb the fee temporarily is a viable option for some people. Paying with a credit card also isn't a requirement...just an option :)

A lot of people find it's important to pay on a credit card especially if you're living month to month, or if you can afford to pay the fees you can get decent status with your card company.

You're totally right though, $4.95/mo is more likely to happen (or send through your bank). We have some good value add over the bank because we're in the process of letting you build your credit history with successully paid rent payments - something the banks don't offer.

tylergalpinon Path and Facebook’s mobile left nav flyout pattern considered harmful?

I wrote a small bit here, that sums up my thoughts on the flyout navs. http://dribbble.com/shots/825365-Why-Not-to-Use-Left-Nav-Fly...

The thread on whole is worthwhile to read.
