First Active and payments with credit card?

Does anyone know if they accept credit card payments? I've seen a lot of threads on here where people have said that their lenders will accept credit card payments as a "oneoff". The reason I'm interested to know is I have a tesco credit card and I've also just totted up the amount of tesco points/vouchers I'd need to transfer into airmiles to get a return to sydney where I hope to visit a friend. I only need £30 quids more of tesco vouchers (it will be about £215's worth of vouchers in total I've been hoarding most of them for a couple of years). As I'm on a tight budget anyway and I'm trying to MFI3 (well reduce in 3 it's a ginormous mortgage) I can't up my expenditure to get extra points so I need to be creative to get the max points out of my current expenditure.

I'm quite anal about remembering what days to do things on and I have an 8k limit on my tesco card so I could easily pay every mortgage payment on the card if they'd let me and I'd be off to Sydney this summer in no time. I'm a bit of a coward though. Perhaps I'll just try and make my normal overpayment like that first as a test.
