You're right. Sometimes we speak in absolutes when we shouldn't but humu and redpat were right to assume that it would be considered as a cash withdrawal because 99% of the time it would. This is the first time that I've heard of someone being allowed to pay a credit card bill with another credit card.
Agreed, Irish. I'm also not too sure that if the lender finds out you are paying a credit card with a credit card, that it wouldn't throw up a red flag of them wondering if something of concern was taking place (i.e., concern of you not having cash to pay the bill).
There are also certain "grey" areas of spend that have raised a flag before with a lender if a member tries to use those areas to meet spend, so that may be a concern. Just some things to consider.
Another thought would be that paying credit cards with credit cards results in further debt, unless you are disciplined enough to pay it down.
Like Irish, I've not heard of this before. My credit union wouldn't alllow it, and I wouldn't do it if they did. But best of luck to you and hope it all works out.

Agree, and to Irish's point, I'm aware of other CU's (very obscure ones at that) which allow this feature - both on the Debit and Credit side for payments. That being said, not a standard feature for most banks even top CUs nationwide. For instance there's a variety of CUs, even local ones, that allow or offer BT pomotions that count toward reward. Alliant CU is one of them, for example. Of course, the rewards aren't going to be "stellar" per se (depending on the BT $) when compared to peer CCs but the fact that most CUs do not incur BT fees and you can still earn rewards is not a bad option.

Don't argue with me! Thanks for the info. Wasn't aware there were CUs out there that do this.

LOL. I went on a major CU research phase over the good part of a year or so (ending sometime last year with the UNFCU approval) and that's where it opened my eyes with some of them as far membership, rewards and somewhat unorthodox features. At the end of the day Irish is right though

Just in case it really is "Argue with Irish day": they may have assumed based on what they know, but it was in fact wrong, and the use of "definite" black and white language was misplaced. We saw this recently with person getting an over-the limit loan on his Chase card, nearly everyone predicting total disaster and it fact it was a great deal. So bottom line: if you don't actually KNOW for certain, moderate your language more to "I expect" rather than "Definitely". The credit space is much more complex!
