paying BG

Options
Hi,

Due to cashflow ( xmas, 2 kids...need I say more )

Want to pay gas bill to BG by credit card rather than straight out of my bank to give me an extra month to sort it out.

Anyone know if theres a charge for paying BG with a credit card ( as in mastercard see it as a cash advance or anything? )

Cheers

    It will be a purchase giving you the interest free days that you need.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    No charge from BG and as above it will just be a normal payment, but make sure you're not going to be paying interest on the Credit Card.
    If you agree to a monthly payment plan, you may be able to ask for a first payment date in January.
  • its just I finally got around to giving an actual reading for the leccy and it was nearly 400 quid

    then the gas cam to another 140.

    I've paid the leccy but want to stick the gas bill on cc so it comes out of next months cash.
