Credit Card with Rewards for Utilities???

[kimmiller112]

Is there a credit card out there that gives either cash back or points for paying utilities with it?  Are the just for specific utility companies or for any?  I'd love to have a rewards card for my cable/internet/phone bundle (Hargray), my electric (Palmetto Electric), my water (Hilton Head PSD) and my garbage/recyling (Republic Services).

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Its kinda crazy you asked because i was just looking at Barclay Rewards Master Card and noticed its 2 points per dollar on utilities which ive never seen. So yeah Barclays Rewards does utilities.

US Bank Cash+ Visa Signature Card gives 5% cash back by psying utilities (electric bill, insurance etc.) and Amex Hilton HHonors gives you 3 points/$1 to pay cable, wireless.

My charter one plat rewards gets 1% cashback unless its the category that I used the most money for in that month... then I get 3%, but gas is always my 3% category.

My electric company won't take credit card for payment

becareful most electric and gas companies have "convience fees" tacked on when you pay with a card. 

Cable, Cellphone, Satelite  companies take cards with no fees, and Amex Zync offers 2pts/$1 with the connect pack

Most insuracne companies handle cards just fine.

We need to create a sticky on reward categories much like we should for secured cards for this forum.

Will be a PITA to keep updated, but this is the sort of information that would be enormously helpful in a tabular format... on the assumption someone out on the web hasn't done it previously.... which admittedly has probably happened but I've never stumbled across it yet.

Zync's connect pack gives you double points for paying cable/cell phone/etc. bills.

I pay phone (verizon) and water bills with Amex points. I spend on amex specifically to build points to do so. Amex points are also the grt to buy Amazon items. Bought a Primo ceramic grill with points.
