Don't do it anyway. The interest rate is so high!

Taking cash on a credit card has to be a last resort..

I understand that some people have received a letter from BC advising of this. However I have not as yet received one. I would never withdraw cash from a credit card but that said it is a useful facility if you get stuck.

I have not received anything from BC to indicate that you are unable take cash advances on their cards. However I have called them on a free phone no. and they said they no longer allow cash advances.

I think it depends on their assesment of how each individual runs their account.

I don't care about their individual assesments anyway.....going to cancel my card on tuesday...as a new year wish to barclaycard...

Hubby has had a letter stating that a) his credit limit is being reduced as they are now 'responsible lenders' and b) the facility to withdraw cash in the UK has been withdrawn BUT

he can withdraw cash abroad!
