Vanquis balance

Options
Hi all,
I have recently got my vanquis credit card and i was wondering about the repayment and interest.

So lets say for example i make a cash withdrawal of £100, what would be the minimum monthly payment?
Could i pay £20 a month for 5 months + what would the interest amount be on this ...
My monthly purchase rate is: 2.839%
My monthly cash/cheque is: 3.433%

And i am also opted into the payment plan at £1.19 per £100 (1.19%)per month

    I realise you use the word 'example', but please don't make cash withdrawals using this card unless absolutely desperate - it will cost a fortune!

    Try to use it for normal purchases and pay off in full each month.

    Looks like £5 to me.

    Roughly £100*3.433% + £80*3.433% + £60*.... =~£10

    It's primary school maths, not a rocket science.

    And you have to be very desperate to draw cash from a CC (with very few exceptions).

    And? Is this a question? If so, IMO usually this is waste of money.
