MBNA Cash Fee?
Comments
-
You would be better to ask MBNA why they charged this - was the PayPal classed as a cash payment?
Were you paying a company via PayPal?Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

It was a "friend and family" paypal transaction.0

It's been noted previously that some cards treat Friends and Family as a cash advance as it shouldn't be used for a commercial transaction and thus is cash. It does vary by card issuer though, as does the "cash like" transaction in general.jazzy said:It was a "friend and family" paypal transaction.
If its a one off then a complaint MAY get a guesture of goodwill but dont expect them to do it again in the future if you repeat it.1 -
Basically you're paying cash from your credit card via PayPal so it's being treated as such by the provider. Use a debit card for future or even just bank transferjazzy said:It was a "friend and family" paypal transaction.Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:

First transaction of this nature using an MBNA card is treated as a cash advance, future payments aren't (in my experience).0

Friends & family is a cash transaction.
It is not for making purchases.Life in the slow lane0
