Halifax Clarity

I received my Halifax Clarity card. I set up full payment monthly via direct debit. I will use this card purely for overseas expenses. But to test my card today I withdrew £50 from the cash point. My question is, do I start paying interest from a cash point withdrawal from day 1 or will I pay no interest because I set up the full payment at the end of the month?

Thanks

Very interesting way of 'testing' a CC by the way...

Thanks. I wanted to make sure that way because I changed the pin number and just thought it would be an easy option.

Lots of small value cash advances will damage your credit file.

In hindsight, if you wanted to simply check the new number worked you'd have been better buying a newspaper or Mars bar from the supermarket/shop next door!

Even cheaper still would have been to put it back in the ATM and try the new PIN!

Thanks, I will remember that next time.
