Nationwide Overpayment by Credit Card

Hi,

I've tried searching for a previous post on this topic but couldn't find one.

Over recent months, I've been making regular £500 overpayments on my Nationwide fixed mortgage via bank transfer. However, does anyone know if it's possible to make these overpayments via credit card, and if so would it count as a 'cash advance' on the credit card statement?

I thought that if it was possible and not categorised as a cash advance, it would be a good way of getting more cashback on my Egg Money Card.

Many thanks!
