  • I think cash advances rack up interest from the day of the cash advance not the billing date so if billing doesn't come through for best part of 6weeks or somehting like that you may want to pay it off early...

    Don't they also charge an initial fee on top of the interest? IA read through all the small print about cash advances on your agreement.

  • Had a quick look through and they charge a 2.5% cash fee but can't see anything about gambling transactions being classed as cash?

    Check the bill out and make sure, also if you want to get into matched betting, find out if the charges go if you put the cash on your credit card first and then move it to a betting site.
