    Can you use the card to buy the goods or services that you wanted the cash for? Does your supplier accept credit card payments?

    If you're after cash I'd put everything possible on the card and use your wages/salary to pay the supplier.

    If your supplier accepts Paypal why not just send them the money from your Paypal account.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    You could use PayPal as a funding source, and then send a payment to an individual, but there will be fees on top.

    link your card to paypal then do a paypal payment of £1000 to the person you want to pay.

    be sure that you are paying someone in cash that suits you, not just them:think:
  • will it be classed as a purchase if I do it via paypal or will it be a cash advance? what r the charges?

    Do you access your Barclaycard account online? Check in case you have any money transfer deals - they have offered me 0% interest until March 2017 (2.9% fee) on a cash transfer to my bank account. Similar to a balance transfer. If you log-in and go to "Transfers and Offers," it will be in there if it is available to you.

    If not you could always ring them and see if they can give you a deal on a money transfer - worth a try. I've always found them to be accommodating when asking for offers (reduced my interest rate on current balance)
  • thank you - will do
