Credit Card Bank Wire?? HELP!

Hi,

Any help on this would be appreciated.

I need to send £2500 overseas (I'm sending in US dollars), but I only have a credit card. How would you recommend I go about this? I have to send it as a bank wire, and there is no bank attached to the credit card. How do I transfer the money from a credit card to my bank account?

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

  • Thanks for the reply.

    They only accept bank wire.

    Is there any way I can pay them with my credit card? If so, what should I ask them?

    Thanks!
  • You could paypal some money to YOUR bank account and direct transfer it from your account although the whole process will take 5 - 10 days

    Call me negative but sounds like a possible scam, why wont they accept any secure method?
