When a card is worth it
For a $150 utility bill, the fee is more than a typical 2% card earns, so pay Southern California Edison from your bank account. A card only makes sense here if it is the cheapest way to finish a sign-up bonus; the calculator checks that against your other bills.
Watch out for
The $1.65 fee is flat, so it is a larger share of a small bill. It applies to every card, debit card and digital-wallet payment.
