Can I Pay Someone Using a Credit Card?

Options
Just thinking if the person is a builder or someone who doesn't have a card machine, whether there's a way to pay them using a credit card?
Thanks

    Not directly, maybe through Paypal.
  • You could do what I done and get a money transfer card then move the cash to your current account then withdraw it and pay them

    Note that none of these methods provide the protection that you get by paying with a card directly.

    Bear in mind some people charge you extra for using your card especially builders

    I can see why you don't want to be picky as there's no reason to be - the use of the adverb 'directly' by two previous posters is grammatically correct, whereas the adjective 'direct' wouldn't be, in the context of the sentences concerned.

    "You could do what I done" would seem to be a more suitable target for linguistic pedantry though, if you feel so inclined....

    You are not allowed to charge people for using a credit card any more
