What bills can I pay with a credit card?

Either by using a cashback card or by slow stoozing it would obviously be advantagous to pay via a credit card. However most bill payments make a charge for paying via a credit card. Does anyone know of any reguler bills they have that can be paid via a credit card with no penalty?

I guess the smart answer here would be to pay by a cashback DEBIT CARD such as the Halifax one.

    Which local petrol station, is it through pay point. Also how pay mortgage by credit card?
  • My local council state they charge a fee for paying for council tax by credit card but not debit card.Despite this we always have to have the charge deducted afterwards when we pay by debit card as the cashiers are hopeless.They dont know the difference between a credit and debit card and charge the fee because we pay using a visa card,even though its a visa debit card:rolleyes: .

    Would all of these papyments be valid for the 1% cashback on the egg money card - particulalry loan repayments - 1% on these would add up.
