not hot!! c2it charges finance charge when using credit card.

[kermalou]

i recently checked my online statement for my bank of america card and was surprised to see this

02/13/2002 02/12/2002 C2IT $65.10 $653.34
02/13/2002 02/13/2002 ***FINANCE CHARGE***CASH $20.00 $588.24


and it lookslike to me that c2it charges for a cash advance?

That's bad!!! Thanks for letting us know. BTW I think this belongs to 'brag & moan' (even though I rarely check 'em). Again, thanks for your post.

C2it doesn't charge anything, but your credit card will, just like any other purchase if done as a cash advance.


read the FAQ on c2it.com

I've never used c2it, but if they have an option like PayPals "psuedo cash", then you will be charged as though it was a cash advance.

C2it doesn't charge anything to US account holders for domestic transactions. Some banks however, treat these transactions as cash advances and rape you on fees. Blame your bank, not c2it, and use another card if possible.

Yes, it's amazing...Anandtech does have an Off-Topic thread, where off-topic posts go.

if you have a citibank card (sony, aadvantage, etc) and use it for c2it, it is considered a normal credit card purchase. any other credit card though will be considered as a cash advance
