Use 0% cash offer to pay off interest bearing items?

in Credit cards
Hi,
I have a 2k balance on my credit card which is made up of purchases and some cash advances.
Using the offer to pay cash into my bank account could i withdraw enough to cover this by transferring back against the card once i have received it in my bank account?
In my mind this will eliminate the high interest items, which i know must be paid first, leaving just the balance taken for the cash transfer which is at 0% until next year.
The low cash transfer offer rate is less than 2% which is significantly better than the painfully high rate i'm paying on my cc debt now.
Apologies if ive missed this topic elsewhere but i couldnt find anything.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
