When a card is worth it
For a $150 utility bill, the fee is more than a typical 2% card earns, so pay Tampa Electric 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 $2.75 fee is for residential payments up to $1,000. Business fees are not covered here.
