Bills you can pay with a credit card
What you need to know before you pay bills with a credit card:
Double check to see if there are fees or exceptions for using your credit card.
If the percentage you’re paying in fees outweighs the percentage you’re getting in rewards points, it’s not worth it! Use cash instead.
Pay off your credit card every month to avoid paying interest!
For any regular service or monthly lessons you pay for that don’t take a credit card, ask to pay via PayPal in order to use your credit card!
