Credit Card question

[abolishthefed]

Hey all first post here.

Well I am in a bit of a fix. I need some cash, but I can not get any right now. All I have is my 1 credit card, but I need to settle a debt that I can only use cash for.

What are some ways to get cash? I need about 6 grand in cash. I was thinking should I just go to best buy and buy 6 grand worth of stuff and then return it for cash?

Or can I get a money order with a credit card? Can I just go to Western Union and say hey I need a money order for this much?

Or is there a simpler way to use my credit card to get cash that I am just overlooking?

I'll be able to pay off the credit card in about 1 month so I am not finacially unstable so do not worry your little hearts out about me

Thanks in advance!!!

why not just take a cash advance on your credit card?

[simpleyme]

I bet they would just credit your card back ,not give you cash back
how about going to a bank?

[gamecock43]

cash advances on credit cards charge a higher interest rate than your normal rate. ideas for extra cash?= ebay. 6 grand?= no idea.

Go to your local bank and ask for a signature loan. If you have good credit, you will walk out with the cash.

Whats the deal with the only cash accepted policy. Is there something illigal going on here?

By the way your screen name is freaking awesome. If only I would have thought of it first.

the best is to approach you bank and chat to them about a loan. If you can proof that you will be able to pay it off in a month, the banks should advance it to you.

With a screen name like that, I'm sure you have no use for banks.

Just go in your back yard and dig up your coffee cans fulls of cash. Or maybe check under your mattress.

I think it's good to use credit debit cards so you never over reach your budget and you're spending real money. That way you don't get into debt. If you need more money, just go out and make some more.

There are numerous ways of getting cash, simply by managing yourself in looking for a great job or high paid job.
