Anyone successfully paid their car off with a credit card by buying visa debit gift cards and doing so over the phone with auto finance dept? I’m looking into this cuz staples has a no fee promotion on $200 debit cards but run into a hiccup if I can’t merge a bunch onto one card so I only pay the $4 pay by phone fee once. Any advice?

I paid off my truck several years ago that way. They said I had to wait for the bill to go 1 day beyond the due date, and then then call their “collections” department and I could pay with a credit card. No issues.

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
