Avoiding interest on credit card cash withdrawals

Options
The only thing that's not zero on the Santander Zero card is the interest charged on cash withdrawals. Am I right in thinking that the interest can be largely avoided if I pay off the full balance as soon as a cash withdrawal is made?

    You'd need to overpay it to cover the interest they calculate from the moment you take the money out.

    If you've got any other balances on the card from purchases or balance transfers then your payments will go against that. Not recommended for stoozing.
