Egg money credit card

Are you sure?
Perhaps your council takes cards, but I don't think many councils do, to be honest.
But you are right, a lot of people will spend £200 a month on household food alone and most people use petrol or a train ticket.
Cashback isn't as good as it used to be unfortunately.
I've got an AMEX card and I've put family and business spending on it.
Also paid hotel/meal bookings when out as a group.
Had no problem racking it up, when putting other people's spending on it as well.
OK - I am sure that my Council will accept payments on credit cards. Apologies if this is not universal. Nevertheless, I still pay - just for me, and I'm very careful about spending - £200 plus monthly on my Egg card, and then there are the extras - new glasses going on this month are over £200, and so on.
Lisyloo, you need to have an income of more than £30,000 (if I remember correctly) for Amex. The average wage is below this.

Yes, you're correct.
Sadly the availability of cashback offers has reduced.0 -

You'll have need to have done that last month. No longer offered on their website sadly.0
