in Credit cards
Hi all,
Could anyone help please?
Obviously i know what purchases are but I'm hoping to pay 'some' of my monthly bills off on a new credit card
Does anyone know if housing rent would fall into the purchase catagory? Struggling to think of any high value bills to put on the card?
Thanks in advance

I hope that if you're putting high value purchases on it, that it's 0% and that you'll be saving the money up to pay it off before the end of the 0% period.
I'd be surprised if your landlord will accept credit card payments. Most things can be paid off by credit card if it's with a big company, i.e. telecoms etc. It *may* go through as a cash transaction though, since you'd be paying off finance with finance.Credit 'Score' - Don't buy the credit 'score' that Experian, Equifax and Noddle want to sell you. It's an arbitrary number that means nothing when it comes to applying for credit.
ALWAYS HAVE A DIRECT DEBIT SET UP FOR THE MINIMUM PAYMENT ON YOUR CREDIT CARDS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU PLAN TO LOGIN AND PAY EACH MONTH.0 -
Cash transactions are pretty clearly defined in the T&C. Typically it's ATMs, gambling, bureau de change. If a bill can be paid by a CC it's purchase, but many bills can't.0
