    mmm.be prepared for some blunt answers...but yes you will prob have to pay it back...surely its the same as gambling it at bookies and if horse loses do you have to pay it back to CC.
    TO FINISH LAST, FIRST YOU HAVE TO FINISH....
  • I like your thinking but as it's a money transfer rather than a purchase of unsatisfactory goods, I'd imagine you are liable.
  • I guess you will be liable.
    Basically you took money out of your credit card.
    What you do with the money is up to you.
    I class it as a cash withdrawal.

    I agree with previous posters that you are almost certainly liable. I also like possette's warning about getting blunt answers. This site is so often filled with people ready to accuse and condemn. Bizarre for a site that's meant to help and support...

    Good luck.

    I assume you would have to use some sort of intermediary to get the money invested, unless balance transfers have become a lot more sophisticated since I last done one, in which case the credit card would only maybe cover losses if the intermediary went insolvent before they had placed the money, not after.

    Your gambling basically which I guess we all wished we'd be covered for but sadly we arent.

    Well at least with investment you can track company performance and make informed decision

    kinda like watching a horses form and making an informed decision?
  • Though perhaps not quite as all-or-nothing as horses (unless they go bankrupt...).
