Aqua pushing up their cash advance fee

Options
Of course the general wisdom is that you never take cash off a credit card - especially as the fees can be downright silly - but Aqua have just emailed to say their cash advance fee is going up to 5 percent with a minimum £4 fee. So if you have an Aqua card do your best to avoid cash or cash like transactions. Many card providers seem to charge around 3 percent.

  • I think you will find a lot of money transfers are higher than 3%.
    The rates I have seen are at the 4% to 4.5% end although the 5% is the highest I have seen so far.
    At this rate personal loans will be cheaper than money transfers.
