Re: Charging Your Credit Card for Cash to Avoid Cash Advance Fee Jan 15, 2009 12:42 AM
I did this a while back with some credit cards. It's a pretty simple concept, and there are a few ways to accomplish it:
1) Apply for a a balance transfer with Card A, and have them pay off Card B. Card B needs to have no balance on it. Many credit card companies will issues you a check if you have a credit balance and VIOLA!, you have cash without cash advance fees. Alternatively, you could actually do a cash advance on card A, then do a balance transfer from card B.
2) If you have a home equity loan, you can do a balance transfer and have the money sent to your home equity loan account.
I wrote an entire booklet on how to do this, then invest the money in CDs to make a little money. I made like $2000 a few years back when rates were higher.
