There's another option. Abuse PayPal and send money to family so it goes through as a sale and not cash advance. 

Example you both set up an individual PayPal account and properly register and link your bank / a bank card etc. 

Once all done you then add the card you wanted to use, ideally just a 0% on purchases so like Tesco, Sainsbury's, MBNA & many others. No need to approve this new card with the code. Just add it then click to send money to family and send whatever amount. You'd send that to your partner and then they just withdraw it. 

By setting up PayPal properly you'll not have sending limits etc so works fine. You could both send each other £7k over a couple of cards or whatever. I have 14 cards saved to my PayPal and totally abuse the points system (rightly or wrongly).

What about PayPal exchange rate..... Never the most value for money
