Forums Payment cards Other payment cards Can you use Hilton Honors Debit Card to pay off credit card?

  • 26 posts

    I’m looking at getting the Hilton Honors Plus Debit card (https://www.headforpoints.com/2024/06/11/review-hilton-honors-debit-card/) and was wandering, if, as a way of maximising points, you are able to use it to pay off a credit card, directly going from your main current account, to get points on both. In Amex for example I see an option in the app, to take a payment from a debit card, rather than from a specific app, so will this debit card work there for example?

    Cash advances disguised as purchases
    Transactions with retailers controlled by the cardholder

    It is so strict that you cannot even pay for British Gas! The financial provider that British Gas used, Currensea blocked the transaction. And O2 does not like it either. I now only use it to spend overseas or pay for subs with foreign currency and the Gold membership. I am still keeping an eye out for potential card though!
