in Credit cards
Hi. Looking for some advice please. I’m having an extension built starting shortly. I’m in the lucky position that I have the cash ready, due to inheritance. And for the build I need to make weekly payments of circa £6k. How is the best way to pay this and get some benefits back?? Thanks in advance for your advice

What types of payment will your builder accept? There's no point developing some complicated cashback cascade if they'll only accept a BACS transfer (or worse, an attache case full of used notes).N.

Bare in mind they’ll likely want to be paid via bank or cash due to the fees involved in taking payment by DC/CC.
Even paying by the current cheapest in person card payment of revolut business they’re still looking at 0.8% fee, that weekly at £6k adds up - Almost £50.

As well as acceptable methods of payment already mentioned, how many credit cards and limits are you hoping for to make £6k weekly payments.0

I thought the OP meant they wanted to make weekly payments of £6k, not £6k in total.It can’t be much of an extension for £6k.0 -
They can pay off the credit card after making each payment, and so the card only requires a £6k or so limit.eschaton said:grumpy_codger said:eschaton said:As well as acceptable methods of payment already mentioned, how many credit cards and limits are you hoping for to make £6k weekly payments.One card with £6K limit.The OP made it clear that they "have the cash ready" and they want a CC only to "get some benefits"Who said they didn’t?
