Power NI don’t accept credit cards?

I just switched to Power NI but I’ve previously been with Electric Ireland, Budget, Click and SSE. All of them accepted credit cards for top up payments but I tried today with Power NI and it wouldn’t work. When I rang to query it, the guy said they don’t accept credit cards at all. Has anyone else had this problem? I find it quite hard to believe.

I googled for you.

So yes, that's correct. At least there's no minimum contract/exit fee and you can switch again if that's a problem for you.

If you topup at a pay point you could use a credit card but I don't no if you still get the topup bonus.
If you have a chase account you would get 1% back on you topup but if you have signed up for perks you would have to use a credit card to pay for your gift cards
Click energy has a supersaver which is the best deal for a year but it is a 12 month contract
Click also have clickbacks for gift cards but some of the discounts aren't as good but if you shop in Tesco you would get 5% discount
Lloyds cash back credit card ?

Paypoint don't accept credit cards, just cash or debit.

Why would the Power NI employee be lying to you? He should know his own job!
