Paying a store card with a credit card?

Question

My boyfriend is paying off my Macy's balance and I was wondering if he can use his Mastercard to pay it off? Or is it only debit cards you can use?

Answer 1

Generally most stores wont allow to pay credit with credit.  Maybe the best thing to do is consider the interest on a personal loan and consolidate all your credit/store cards together and only pay off one loan.

Answer 2

as the woman on the top said its a bit risky...think of all the extra interest you will be using paying credit with credit!!

Answer 3

He can call the company that he has his Master Card through and ask if he could do a balance transfer.  Most credit card companies offer this 2 through 3 times a year with anywhere from 0% up to 7% for a period of time.  There is also a charge to transfer the balance so your boyfriend needs to find out this informantion before he agrees to anything.  Hope this helps.

Answer 4

DONT DO THAT!  If you do not have the cash to pay it, you could consider rolling it onto a 0% transfer card...and then commit to paying it off in the 12 or 24 months alotted to do so.  DO NOT pay it with another credit card.  A personal loan is only a good idea if you can get a smaller interest rate.
