Credit card BACS payment?

Hi all,

I’m somewhat of a credit card novice so this may well be a silly question...

I’m looking to get the British airways Amex Credit card. Is there a way I pay for an invoice through a BACS transfer with the card?

Many thanks

    No. You would need a money transfer card, put that cash into your account and transfer from there.

    There's normally a fee or around 4%.

    You can use https://billhop.com/gb/ and potentially paypal. Billhop charges 2.95%, but it is inundated with people paying fake invoices to themselves in order to earn Amex sign-up bonuses and vouchers, so there is a high chance your payment may be declined.
