You Cards
How can one use their credit cards to invest without the investment qualifying as a cash advance?
Everybody knows using a credit card at the ATM or bank will qualify the transaction as a cash advance and cash advances carry a rather high rate. However today I heard a bit on the news;how to make money off of the credit card companies rather than them making it off of you. It featured some investment guru who talked about using available balances on credit cards for investments that have a higher rate of return than the credit card carries. I have a 0% until July 2007 with plenty to invest if I decided to do this, but how would I avoid the cash advance rate if it would be regarded as cash? Are there any investments that would list the transaction as a purchase? Please help, I am confused.
First you must make sure you know what you actually have –
is it 0% on purchases or balance transfers?
In neither case, it would not apply to a withdrawal at an ATM – interest kicks in from day 1 – banks are not dumb!
But for instance – if it is on purchases and if you buy something – and then sell it quickly (maybe on Ebay or to a friend?) and use that cash to invest in say, a 3 month CD earning interest – now we are talking.
