I don't think it's going to be hidden at all. That speculation may have resulted from the original Diners Club, and that very well might have had no visibility, as a charge card on it's own private payment exchange. That was an entirely different card and a pre-historical time in the non-interconnected world, so should not be expected to occur now.
Hidden TL.... hmm, haven't heard enough about that lately

Even if it didn't report there's a very small daily cash advance limit, meaning it wouldn't be practical. Balance transfer to a 0% card would be better/easier.
The cash advance daily limit is no more than 7k. Thats a lot, i wouldnt call that small.. if you have more than 7k in CC debt your concern shouldnt be trying to shovel the debt around, it should be to pay it off ASAP!
@Anonymous wife and I have 8K in CC debt.... :/ 7K on 0% cards and 1K on my BSP @ 14.24% -- With the Holidays, Several un-strategically placed birthdays and Events, as well Property and Income taxes coming, I can't really afford to pay it all off THIS instant, lol.

Yeah, not so sure his theory works. $7K for a temporary time period isn't the sign of impending financial ruin.

Who said 7k was impending financial ruin? Would you prefer to NOT have debt or to have debt? My case was simply stated, if you have 7k in CC debt, then i wouldnt focus on pushing it around, i would focus on paying it off. Sounds smart to me
