I have a Wells Fargo checking account and a Wells Fargo Visa, so I can transfer money from the checking to the Visa very easily through their Wells Fargo Online website.
I recently signed up for an Amazon.com Visa for the $30 promotion and because I figured I might as well start earning some reward points on regular purchases. I was wondering if its possible to pay off this Amazon Visa with my Wells Visa, then pay off my Wells Visa with my checking. I just don't want to get into writing paper checks. I'm just afraid to accidentally wade into the "balance transfer" waters (which I know nothing about) when I'm really just trying to pay a bill.
Then I thought to myself, what if I have a rewards program on my Wells Fargo Visa, and by paying the Amazon.com Visa off with my Wells Fargo Visa, wouldn't I be earning points for both cards?
For example, $100 purchase with Amazon.com Visa (+100 points for Amazon), pay off $100 Amazon.com Visa bill with Wells Fargo Visa (+100 points for Wells), pay off Wells Visa with Wells checking.
I'm not saying I'm planning on doing this, just wondering if that made any sense or if that would be a reason they wouldn't allow paying off a credit card bill with another credit card.
