cash with 0% credit card

Hi,
Can i get a large amount of cash with a 0% credit card, then pay it back at 0% via the card, or is a 0% credit card for purchases from shops/businesses only.

    Only way you can get cash is via a 'super balance transfer' to your current account, but that has a 4% fee. The MBNA family of cards offer this facility.

    Thanks for your reply BoGoF. The reason i'm asking is because i want to purchase loudspeakers from a private seller, and i don't want to pay any interest if poss. Is there any other way of raising the cash? Maybe there is a way i haven't thought of.

    M&S CC and TCs? You can put the TCs in your current account and thus have the cash available.
  • There's always the possibility of using Paypal, if both you and the seller have accounts. 3.4% + 20p fee though.
  • Many thanks for your replies, i now have a few options to think about.
