Barclaycard & Sainsburys CC

Options
Does anyone know if these Cards treat Gambling Transactions as Cash Advances & therefore charge you a fee?

    You'll have to go through a dummy application for the Barclaycard to get to see the T&C's.

    However, most cards are updating their T&C's to include gambling transactions as 'cash advances'. So, whilst you may not pay a fee now, you probably WILL at some time in the future.

    Just out of curiosity, and this is a genuine question, why does everyone seem to want to gamble with credit cards? Why not set up a dedicated current account and use a debit card?
