Cash back credit card

Hi. Does anybody know which is the best credit card to get cash transferred into a current account? I need to raise money for a deposit to rent a bungalow. Thanks for your help. Regards.

  • As far as I know, MBNA are the only ones who would do a money dump into a current account.

    Edit; Also Barclays offer it sometimes but only if you bank with them.
  • Thank you. 😊

    It's not a "cash back card" that you need.

    I've had cash offers from Barclays and I don't bank with them.

    If you need to draw money from a credit card to pay for a deposit on a bungalow, you cannot afford to rent said bungalow.

    Oooh, that's news to me! Intertesting. And a nice tip for those who can't/don't want to apply with MBNA. ;)

    You know absolutely nothing about the OP's circumstances: whether they are due a refunded deposit from where they currently live; whether they have a lump sum due to them shortly; what they earn and therefore how quickly the CC debt will be paid off; whether they have a fixed term ISA maturing next month; or whether they intend to sell their rare collection of vintage Barbie dolls on eBay.

    In the absence of this information, your evaluation of the situation is completely without worth.

    Shushhhh

    We both know this, but saying it will just rile up the "I want it now" brigade!
  • Hi.

    Thank you all for your posts.

    The monthly rental for the bungalow is £675. I am currently earning about £1900 a month, so I can afford that. :)

    The credit card money is for £934 which I need for deposit, and will be able to pay it back comfortably within 24 months, if not before.

    Regards

    I've had a Barclaycard for years with loads of offers but never cash, so Definately doesnt get offered to everybody.
