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?
