    I nearly fell into this trap last week when OH wanted me to withdraw cash from my card so we;d have money for food etc as the car was in the garage getting a lot of work done to it.

    I'm so glad I check MSE first and realised it was a bad thing to do.

    I'm surprised this article doesn't mention anything about "cash withdrawls are trapped behind purchases, and will be the last thing to be paid off".
    To me, that's the biggest disadvantage of all.
    You're spelling is effecting me so much. Im trying not to be phased by it but your all making me loose my mind on mass!! My head is loosing it's hair. I'm going to take myself off the electoral role like I should of done ages ago and move to the Caribean. I already brought my plane ticket, all be it a refundable 1.
