cash by stoozing

HI...new to stoozing so just wanted to check an example please:
normally cash withdrawn on credit card has mega% interest.


but can i immediately transfer the balance to a 0%-transfer card and avoid all that mega%? (acknowledging there's still the transfer fee, of course)

I'm assuming the 0% transfer card doesnt care what type of debt is being transferred (cash vs purchases) ?

I am assuming this would give cash to invest.

Yes ..... but ....

Cash withdrawal fee
Interest from date of withdrawal until transferred
BT fee
Limit on how much cash can be withdrawn from cashpoints

so probably not worth the hassle.

noh

Best way is to get a "mule" card with a 0% money transfer fee.
Then apply for one or more 0% 0 fee balance transfer cards.
Money transfer cash from the mule card to your bank account and simultaneously balance transfer to the 0% balance transfer card.
Or you can balance transfer and load the mule card first then money transfer to your current account.
A suitable mule card is

Which has 0% money transfer fee.

@Noh...

so the mule card allows me to just bung cash into my bank account, no fee.
(but still mega% interest)

and then i transfer the mulecard balance to a 0% transfer card. ...avoiding the mega% interest.

thanks!

Yes thats it.
You can avoid interest if you get the timing right. Earlier this year I managed to stooz around £28k using this method.

The mule card should be zero fee but it does not need to be 0% interest rate as there will never be a negative balance.

Read it again noh

noh

Ok I misread your post.
As you rightly point out, for maximum gain, the balance transfer card should be zero fee and 0% interest.
There are some low fee cards that may well work for the OP depending on what he intends to do with the cash.
