A cash advance from a credit card is never a low rate way of acquiring cash. That said sometimes we all have no other option for any number of reasons. We have tried to find a selection of cards that offer this feature at a reasonable rate as many credit cards penalise you with very high rates and charges for a simple withdrawal from a hole in the wall. It is cheaper to take the purchase rate than the cash advance rate, another option is to use a credit card cheque if possible as the rate will be above the Typical Apr but normally below the cash advance Apr.
