I recently got a Pockit prepaid card

It seems that I can load money into this prepaid card from my UK credit card (I am not consider any FX transactions at all - just use in UK).

Does charging this prepaid card with 2000 GBP from credit card count as cash withdrawal from credit card? If so, there wil be a charge correct?

Thanks

yes. the prepaid card state they should to be loaded from a debit card.

so you'll be charged a cash advance fee from your CC.

I don't think you can load Pockit from a credit card.
