I tried really hard to pay for my new used car (new to me!) with my AmEx. But alas, they were unwilling to pay transaction fees on $12K.
I figure that I could have collected some serious points on that one!
There's not a single recurring bill that we have that can be paid by CC. I think all our utilities, etc caught on. I know that you can with some, but no luck here.

It's not a purchase; it's a payment on existing debt.I have the option to pay almost all of my recurring bills with a CC, but it's not usually worth it because the convenience charges are more than the rewards I would get for the purchases.
ConEd, the electric provider in NY, for example, uses a third party to process CC payments, and that company adds $4.95 to each transaction as their fee. Since my electric bill usually runs $75-$100, the additional fee ends up being more than the rewards I would get.
