Paying your mortgage through your credit card... No matter who's card you have think you'd struggle with that one?

Double miles when shopping or buying fuel at any supermarket till the end of July

The VS black card is very generous - 4 miles for every pound on VS (plus flown miles as well) and 2 for everything else.
By the time you buy a few tickets, pay for some hotels etc then you will be surprised how soon you rack up the miles.

You certainly won't find any bank/mortgage company that are going to give a credit card company 2.5% off your mortgage payments, when the interest rates are only around 4.5%.

BUT... I did see that some US credit cards in the 'shopping partners' section allow you to click through for a re-mortgage enquiry and get over 100,000 miles if it goes all the way. If memory serves (it doesnt that often these days) I saw it on the Chase BA card, for a (re)mortgage through Chase. Very nice way to get lower payments and a big chunk of BA miles.
