    things which may not count as a purchase include:
    cash advances
    transfers to a bank account
    paying off a loan
    paying off debt on another card
    travellers cheques and similar items such as loading a pre-paid card
    gambling transactions
    credit card cheques (if they still exist)

    pretty much everything else counts as a purchase

  • Before you pay your bill by CC, check carefully that there is no additional premium for card payments. Many utilities and many councils charge an extra 2 or 3 % if paying by card.
