I don't know because I have no debt. I'm just here because I'm bored and lonely and nothing to do.

Lol. Getting cash from another place to cover the current debts? Never a good idea. Dont think of easy money. Think how to solve this one first. If you really need to get a 2nd job or side income. And cut down on spending. Most people wont do that because they wanna show face and show on fb they are rich. Just dont follow trend.

Don’t do it. Hidden fees like admin, processing, early settlement, late change will kill you

check for any processing fees, this & that.
sometimes cash advance have.

if charges absolutely same, i would suggest BT instead.
cuz balance transfer, it directly goes into your CC installment.
where else cash advance, depending on bank, some bank is to temporarily open up another cash advanced account for u, in which when u pay CC, u hav to pay to 2 separate accounts.
which can be a hassle, & more prone to mistake, ie, paid CC, but forgot pay cash advanced.
example of such bank is standard chartered.

i have to say. BOBOWYC is quite misleading.


increasing Income is always priority. No wrong.

but if you have quite amount of CC outstanding , that is a quite serious PROBLEM

i guess BOBOWYC do not know how CC interest calculate.

1st. Compounding (monthly)
2nd. CC interest is 18% p.a.

if you can convert this outstanding into even 11% p.a. FIXED with monthly payment...
you can SAVE ALOT MONEY.



JUST TO MAKE SURE, after u clear the outstanding. DESTROY THE CARD. and ITS ACCOUNT
