This is my fear with AMEX especially on biz cards 😐

Re: So, I made a Boo Boo

I wonder who this will affect my scores? EQ will probably go up by 100 

 

jk....

 

Only VS is affected by cash advances  😐

 

 

Kiddin' again because if I dont, I'll cry 

"Never paid a penny to Chase" was going to be my epitaph 

Now I cant even use it as a senior quote.

Re: So, I made a Boo Boo

Hmm... I thought this was going to be worse than it is so I'm glad it wasn't a bigger boo boo. 

I hate paying anyone interest though so I know how you feel. I am paying for a cash advance on my NFCU Plat right now and that $6 I have paid in interest so far is killing me. 😫

 

As K pointed out, it's not really a big deal because of intro purchase APR so no need to go read the terms to find out how to get your grace period back.

Re: So, I made a Boo Boo

Thanks, Saeren.
I'm just irked at how it happened, not so much that it happened, if that makes sense.
I've only used Freedom once in the past 4 months lol

Re: So, I made a Boo Boo

Yep I get it. I made my own boo boos, hence the cash advance. 

It's kind of annoying that cash advances can be done without a PIN just because the issuer decides to code it as one.

Except it wasn't a debit card 😐
Apparently I used Freedom (stupid blue cards)

Anyway, card had $0.00 balance, I'm aware it's a subject to $10.00 fee (because the amount), cash advance apr and quite possibly FTF.
That's all fine, I thought I had cash advance removed from it, obviously not...(it is now)

If course I will pay that stupid charge the moment it posts, so my question is, how long should I not use it after it's paid
Card itself is still in 0% promo

I'm not itching to use it, still in a process of buying 🧦 bank love, but in addition to feeling stupid, I'd rather pay interest to Credit One than Chase. We're frenemies

Before anyone asks why I had debit card with me..I have no clue . It wasn't and now it is.
I'll blame that on lack of sleep, too.

🤷‍♀️

Well I guess now would be a good time to put that NyQuil siggy of yours to good use then? 🤪

You can always ask for EE on your boo-boo and qualify for that epitaph....😉
