Yes, you can typically withdraw cash using a credit card, but it’s generally not recommended due to high fees and interest rates.

When I first withdrew cash using my credit card, I quickly learned about the high fees and interest rates. Cash advances come with an upfront fee, usually around 3-5% of the amount withdrawn, and the interest rate is often higher than for regular purchases, accruing immediately without a grace period. This can add up quickly. To make it cheaper, I avoid cash advances unless absolutely necessary and instead use my debit card or look for alternative methods like personal loans or borrowing from friends. Being mindful of these costs has helped me manage my finances more effectively.

You can take out cash on your credit card, but it’s normally seen as a cash advance, and interest accrues at the time of withdrawal. To avoid paying interest, you must pay off your credit card balance immediately.

Yes, you can use a credit card to withdraw cash, but the cost might be very high. However, in certain circumstances, you might not be able to use your credit card to withdraw cash from an ATM because the credit limit for a cash advance on your card has been reached. To find out what happened, see the terms on your credit card or get in touch with the provider.
