This has been a popular product for arbitrage for a while now. You can fund the card with a credit card and it posts as a purchase rather than a cash advance. You can then withdraw the money at an ATM. If you use a card with a promo 0% for purchases and a good reward program you can make some decent money.

A free AU card would provide better returns Smiley Happy
