Caution: some local authorities charge a premium for cc usage that cancels out the cashback.

WOW! thankyou so much to everyone for their varied replies. Got to say that I valued all but am no further deciding.
I wanted to use a cc in order to reduce the debt (I have insignificant savings as paying off debts so will not lose interest). I do not pay any bills from my account as they are taken care of from a seperate 'bills' account.
I have checked t&c's and cannot see anything that says I cannot be in credit for a while and as I would still be using the card it would take a while for it to be totally debt free by the end of the month.
thanks again x

No EXTRA charge, because the cost is already built into your Council Tax Bill. The more people that pay this way the higher your bill will be - you don't think the council are paying the commission out of their pocket do you ?

You get 1% ? If everyone pays like this your bill goes up by 3 to 5% - bargain ?
