in Credit cards
As the title suggests. Does anyone know if you use Credit cards to pay for maintenance charges for a flat without being charged by the housing association or the lender?
Cheers

I guess the best way to find out is to ask them, it would be their choice.
If they do accept credit cards, they will have to pay a charge to their bank, so it's their decision whether they pass the charge onto you, or absorb it themselves.0 -

No - it's not a cash advance, it's treated as a purchase.0
