Do any cards pay interest when in credit?

I remember years ago I had a credit card that paid interest if you went into a positive balance. Are there any cards that do this now?

    Not heard of one, putting the account into credit (on purpose) is usually against the T&C's.

    I used to have the Egg Money card (and still have its descendant - a Barclaycard Cashback), but it must be over ten years ago since that facility disappeared 
    I consider myself to be a male feminist. Is that allowed?

    With neutral or even negative interest rates on the horizon the chance of this would have gone from none to impossible.

    Nevertheless it used to happen. Capital One were one company that paid interest if card was in credit. Seems many years ago now though.
