Using Credit Card to Pay Off Next Account

Evening All.

I owe approx £1,000 on my next account and im going to pay it off at the end of the month when I get my bonus. However I have a credit card, would I be able to use this card to pay it off and then pay the credit card off at the end of the month hence savibng me 1 months interest (about £20).

Do they count this as a cash transfer and is it worth the risk for the sake of £20.

Cheers in advance

    You can use any credit card to pay your Next account and will show as a purchase. I have done this many times.

    +1 from me, I always pay my next account by credit card, always shows as a purchase.

    Another way is to buy gift cards at Tesco using your credit card, then pay your account with them, gaining extra clubcard points in the process...or is that a little too mse? :o
