Cash advances only work if your account is setup for them, and you can get them where you see a VISA logo.

Yes, it's called a cash advance, and the interest rates are always insanely high on them.

yep

yeah, but it's more advisable to shoot yourself in the face than pay that interest...

Call your CC and ask them. Mine sent me checks that I can use to get cash at normal interest rates instead of the cash advance rate.

have fun paying the 27% intrest on that cash advance

Yes you can, but you shouldn't do that. Get a line of credit from your bank for that kind of stuff, at least you'll be paying Prime + 1 as opposed to 18% and up.

Yes you can, there is a fee usually and the interest rate is usually higher than your regular interest rate. Call your cc company and ask how it works... but I wouldn't recommend getting a cash advance on your card unless its absolutely necessary... and if you have a balance on your card prepare to pay the higher cash advance interest rate for a long time (with most credit cards payment is allocated in a manner where balances with lowest interest is paid first, balances with higher interest rates paid last). If your card is capital one I know for a fact thats how it works (worked for them before)

There is an easy solution to this I discovered. I took my wife's cc, paypaled money out of it to me, which I deposited in our checking account. Just don't pick the "cash" category, pick goods.
