Quick question about credit card reward points [View all]

If a credit card feature says you can "Earn 1% on all purchases" -- what does "all purchases" include: 1) ANYTHING I pay for (like utility bills, mortgage payments, gas, food, gifts, etc.); or 2) only THINGS I pay for and receive (like the gas, food, gifts, etc.)?

If your mortgage co!pany/bank takes credit cards for mortgage payments, sure. hedda_foil Mar 2018 #8

Hmm. I've never tried it... Beartracks Mar 2018 #9

Just call their customer service department and ask if you can pay with a credit card. hedda_foil Mar 2018 #10

Or that. I guess I could try that, too. Beartracks Mar 2018 #11

Generally anything you pay for except balance transfers unblock Mar 2018 #4
