paying a best buy card with another credit card

My wife got a Best Buy card which I am going to pay off.  In setting it up, it says I can use either a debit card or credit card for a payment.  I've never seen this before - using one credit card to pay off another (it used to be a joke).  Can I really collect points from, say Navy (2%) if I use it to pay on another card?  Sounds weird to me.

I would go back and reread that. I don't think that's right.

I've never seen an option like that for any card. Not to mention the fact that paying a CC with another CC seems like high potential for a bad snowball effect lol

That's manufactured spending on a whole other level lol.  I agree with others that it's too good to be true.

That doesnt seem  right and were it true id highly doubt the lender would allow rewards to be earned that way. Now if you bt from another card into your checking, then in a round about way you are paying a cc with another ccSmiley Wink

I just went in and checked again. Frankly, I'd be scared to do this. The Amex Rat squad might go tilt, don't know what the rest would say.

Re: paying a best buy card with another credit card

@W261w261  Could it be adding an additional payment method for the Best Buy store app, and not for best buy credit card?

I may be wrong, but this 100% looks like the checkout from your cart.  That isn't the payment section of a credit card bill.  It even shows the 1 item in your cart.

 

edit: just checked.  You are in the add payment section of your best buy account, not adding a checking account for payment of a bill.  At the top where yours says, "add payment method", it says "add payment source" when you are adding info for paying off your bill.
