I was planning on paying my 6 week deposit on my credit card, but someone said no it has to be a bank transfer.
Well I cent do a bank transfer without going overdrawn, but I have room on my credit card, this was my plan.
Can Insist on paying the 6week deposit on my CC?

It would be unusual to pay a deposit by credit card and you certainly cannot insist. You will need to ask the agency what payment methods they will accept.0

Well, no.
Cash is cash. Instant. A cc payment is far from that.0 -
Agents tend to accept payments on debit or credit card, unless things have changed recently (or perhaps I'm in a nicer area).
However, they will pass on the processing fee so expect to pay 2.5% extra if paying by CC.
In any case, it's up to them.0 -
We paid our rental deposit from credit card.
We had to take money from the credit card into PayPal, then withdraw it into a bank account. Was long winded but was the only way for us.Aqua £160.00 / EE £289.60
Total debt = £449.600 -

No. Money is money. Credit is credit.
You could always withdraw a cash advance from your card.0 -
