Would this work?

Hi
Just thinking out loud here...

If I had a Cashback/Rewards credit card and paid from it to my other bank account would I receive cashback/rewards?

Basically, can you just pay to yourself and earn rewards from it?

This seems too easy...:think::think::think:

    You are forgetting the cash advance fee.

    The what fee?
  • Generally you would only receive cashback on retail transactions - ie purchases.

    If you withdraw cash there is usually a handling fee (around 2.5%), and also most credit cards charge interest on cash from the day you withdraw it - so even if you pay in full when you receive your statement, you will still have to pay interest on the cash withdrawal.

    Check the smallprint on your card, but I think what I've said will apply to most, if not all.
