Monthly mortgage payments through credit card?

Hi there...

To start, I always pay the full balance on my credit every month. As such, I thought it would be a good idea to gain something from this. So, I applied and got the buy and fly points master card.

What I wanted to know is if there is a way for me to pay of my monthly mortgage payments through my credit card?

I know that paying credit through credit is not something that I think will be allowed by the lender, but, was hoping there was a way of redirecting the direct debits from my bank account to the credit card instead?

Then, I can pay of the credit card every month without any issues.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!!!

  • ...and the credit card company will view the payment as a cash advance, so a cash advance charge would be payable.

  • So, no way at all? Oh well...
