<prompt> Human: Basically, the entities involved do not accept credit cards for the payment of my student loans and mortgage but this is a large chunk of my monthly monetary expenditure. Basically I would like to cash in on this to earn extra miles on my credit cards. Does anyone have any strategies or tricks to go about accomplishing this through another vendor? for example, buying some sort of prepaid debit card and then transferring that money to my checking account. Something along these linesThanks!  <response>: A quick note on why the answer is no: rewards are for purchases only. Otherwise, people would do stuff like this, or just do balance transfers between credit cards for example, pay off Card A with access checks from Card B, then pay off Card B with access checks from Card A over and over to rack up miles.
