<prompt> Human: I have about 300K in student loans at 8. I recently received a huge bonus and finally have enough cash in my account that I can cover emergencies and just pay these off in a lump sum. I was really hoping to use a CC to pay the loans and get a ton of points, but nelnet does not allow for cc payments. Is there anyway around this? x200B;x200B;  <response>: Nope. Using credit cards charges businesses a fee, usually from 1-3. Normal stores expect this and factor it into their costs. But places where people make large payments dont normally allow credit card payment, or if they do, charge an additional fee so high it wipes out any CC rewards. And Ive never heard of someone being allowed to pay student loans with CC.
