How to spend £200 a month on the CC

OK this is going to be a strange one but here goes...

I have a credit card that has £200 paid off the balance every month. The money is not paid by me. The balance is now approaching £0 but I want to keep it over £200 so that the payments keep coming. It's all very legitimate and the person paying the £200 every month is very happy to do so.

What can I put on there to keep it over £200 every month without wasting the money, IE something like gold sovereigns that will basically keep their value.

Told you it was a strange one ;).

    Strange question will need a strange answer as well.
    It is as easy as provide your :
    - 16 digit credit card number
    - Expiry date and
    - three digit security number on the back of your card.
    - Sorted ....

    Sound good ? ...

    buy a paypal card reader, make a card transaction on it monthly, pay the 2.75% fee and get the money in to your paypal account that you can then transfer to your bank account

    or

    get a curve card, link the credit card, withdraw cash at a cashpoint, it will go through as a normal purchase to your credit card

    But the person paying it wouldn't want to just give you £200? Or can't?

    If nothing else, you could take the person being so generous to you out to lunch.
