When a card is worth it
With no card fee, a card that earns 2% turns a $150 utility bill into about $36 a year. Pay the card in full each month, and confirm the fee at checkout.
Watch out for
Credit cards cannot be used for Auto Pay. Residential card payments are fee-free in MA according to the tariff, but the pay page does not state this.
