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?
No points, so really no point!
Where will I not earn Points?
Hilton Honors Points are awarded for eligible transactions, which include final payments where the merchant completes the transaction, and your linked bank account is debited.
Points cannot be earned on the following transactions:
UK or European taxes (e.g., HMRC, council tax)
Rent or mortgage payments
Card fees
ATM cash withdrawals
Financial product payments
Cash recycling schemes
Educational fees
Cash advances disguised as purchases
Transactions with retailers controlled by the cardholderCurrensea have closed the card tight and you dont get points for lots of normal stuff

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!

Currensea also block certain merchant types. I had a transaction declined as the merchant was incorrectly coded as a financial institution (it was actually one of a chain of sandwich shops in the Netherlands), so they may simply block payments to credit cards rather than just give no points
