- Hydro-Québec counts a bill as paid on the date your payment is received, so schedule ahead.
- American Express works for utilities only with eligible billers picked from Chexy’s search bar; Visa and Mastercard work either way.
- Rewards are set by your card issuer, not by Chexy.
- Chexy accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express credit cards in your name. Prepaid cards aren’t supported.
