How do I get a tv licence card or a united utilities card in order to pay by amex at a Paypoint?

FIRSTTIMER

Do these companies allow that?

TV licensing only allow debit card or cash payment via paypoint.

And is it really going to be worth the hassle of faffing around paying these bills at a shop with PayPoint for a fairly low amount of cash back or rewards?

1% I think is pretty good considering around £10-15k spent per year would equate to my tv licence bill in full actually. Its free money as they say!

TV license is £154.50.
So you’d get £1.54 back.
Not worth the hassle for that small amount really.

Average water bill is £415 a year. TV licence is £154.50. A total of £570. 1% cashback would give you £5.70.

You might find paying your household bills by direct debit via a Santander 123 Lite or Natwest Reward account offers better cashback.

But paying it via a payment card would probably require you to pay it monthly. Faffing around 12 times a year for a fiver wouldn't be worth it for me but I suppose YMMV.
