And if Yes why??

Just trying to figure out the purpose because I always see that Comcast gives you the option of paying with your Amex Card.

I pay every bill possible with my credit card and I use Comcast's Speedpay phone thing to pay my Comcast bill with a credit card. (Ironically, there is no direct line to Speedpay, you have to call a general Comcast number and drill through the menu to talk to someone who then has to manually connect you to Speedpay. If I'm wrong, someone help me out.)

I pay every bill I can with my Discover card because I want the cashback bonus I get. There's really no incentive to pay cash anymore unless they give you a discount for cash purchases.

I get 2% cash back

Paying all my bills w/ my credit card gives me $400 back at the end of the year. All for paying with it over my debit card.

I put my Dish, car insurance, internet, cell phone and Electric on my VISA for the cashback bonus. 2% discount and paid off each month means no interest charges.

Not everyone who own credit cards are irresponsible or have credit card debt. If one is responsible, credit cards can be a great thing. I've had over hundreds of dollars cash back over the years just by using credit cards responsibly.
