| visa cash advance
say you take out $1000 in cash advance from your visa, how does the interest rate of 19.50% work out to be?
is the interest charged over a month rate or over a everyday period that's borrowed?

I think it would be easier to just borrow the money. I don't understand why you would ever need a cash advance unless the banks hate you. Especially for only $1000.

You pay $1000 x (1/12 x 19.5%) per month.
Interest is charged and compounded monthly. Simple interest says $200, but every month you don't reduce the amount, that amount is added.
ie:
$1000 initial
+1.65% interest ($16.25)
=1016.25 first month.
$1016.25
+1.65% interest ($16.77)
=1033.02
If you were just going by simple interest, it'd be lower. And this is why credit card companies sucker you in, because you figure "it's just X per year, it's not that bad."
Oh, and cash advance rates are always higher than purchase rates.

I remember I forgot to bring my USD to SanDiego & I'm in desparate need of cash when I landed. Good thing there's cash advances. Ridiculous interest but it beats having no $$ wutsoever.

Credit cards aren't bad, you just have to be disciplined as we everything in life. If you pay off your bill on a monthly basis, you can rapidly build your credit score.

Creditcards aren't bad. Don't use your creditcards unless you have money to pay off the balance at the end of the month. Getting free points/mileage on stuff that I normally have to buy is nice.
For real though OP, get some help. You will lose that 1000 dollars and be in a shitload of debt once you start on that route.

I always thought cash adv interest was daily hahahha
1.65% monthly compound interest isn't so bad
but i rather be able to pay everything off and get a good credit.
