Paying a Credit Card Bill
« on: December 19, 2010, 12:25:04 PM »
I have a big credit card bill to pay, and was wondering if anybody knew anyway to extract as much as possible from this payment, i.e. through points, benefits, etc...

Thanks!

you can't get any points etc. from paying a credit card bill as you can't pay one credit card with another credit card

what does the OP mean? is he trying to find a way of not paying the full amount due, or is he trying to find out what would be the best method of payment?

your guess is as good as any, either way there is no way to get points correct

In very rare instances you can get points for BT.

Either way, it isn't cost effective IMHO.
