Is there a credit card that offers a bonus for payments to utility companies for things like electricity/gas etc? Not talking about cable/phones.
I believe cash plus used to have some optional addons. Some of the business cards have cable/phone payment bonuses.
How much money are we talking here? If its significant in a 90 day period you may consider a sign on bonus with a new card.

I'm aware of the cable/phone cards which is why I excluded it from my question. Its not a matter of the amount of money. I'm considering options because the plastiq payment service has some sort of deal where they will not charge you a credit card fee if you sign up for six months of your utility being paid via them with a credit card. Of course, it may be a moot point since the charge will likely not show as a payment to a utility company anyway.

Try the Huntington Bank Voice card. 3% on utilities, plus no annual fee or foreign transaction fees.
Nice. I'm in the garden now and doubt I would get a card just to pay utilities (I could see if someone had massive utility bills). I was just hoping that one of the cards I had may have covered them and I did just not remember.
Kind of a moot point since you're probably not applying for a new card, but Huntington Voice is also somewhat region-specific (mostly MI and surrounding states) so you may or may not have success with this anyways.

On of the very reasons that I PC'ed my Barclay Arrival+ to the Barclay Rewards. Utilities will go to this card...
Alternatively, 2% cards like the DC and Amex Fidelity offer the same bonus - obviously, that 2% benefit covers every spend.
