CASH ADVANCE is rarely under 19.99%

ADD A FEE OF 3% or 4% ON TOP OF THAT

Sometimes you only have a CASH ADVANCE credit limit of 15%--50% of the total credit limit for the account

"IF" THIS IS A BALANCE TRANSFER THEN THAT IS NOT A CASH ADVANCE

2 DIFFERENT ANIMALS

A CASH ADVANCE YOU GO TO THE BANK WITH THE CARD AND WALK OUT WITH THE CASH IN HAND

A BALANCE TRANSFER THEY DO AN EFT or MAIL A CHECK or YOU MAIL YOUR OWN CHECK TO THE CREDIT CARD YOU WANT TO PAY OFF

THERE CAN BE NO FEE

SOMETIMES THERE IS A FEE

SOMETIMES AS HIGH AS $75

SOMETIMES THERE IS NO LIMIT ON THE FEE
(so you could pay $100's or even $1,000+)
