It means that there could be a separate fee apart from your normal APR that you would have to pay if you did those things. Balance transfers can carry different percentages though I have found that around 3% is pretty standard. I have not heard of any additional fees for cash advances, but they are not a good idea because the interest rate is usually higher, sometimes twice, what your purchase APR is. The interest also begins to accumulate from the time of the transaction.
Cash advance fee:
You can take your visa/mc card to an ATM and get cash out. Usually at a double instant rate.
Balance transfer: they will send you checks that you can pay your bills or other credit cards with. Again super high instant charges.
60% of people pay their credit cards in full each month.
40% carry a balance.
Aslo, 40% of the US is at a poverty level. Could it be because they are making banks rich? Think like a smart person. Use your credit card and pay it in full each month to get good credit. Carying a balance reduces your credit score.
I have never paid a penny interest or fees on credit cards. If I know I can't afford it next month, I don't charge it.
Everyone says that the recommended thing to do is to just save up some cash. If you are just looking for a job then use the loan very carefully. : Good luck.
I have never been to those pay day loan offices..I hear their interest is sometimes pretty high. Some people work with an understanding boss or manager, so small loans through work might be possible. However a lot of people are too embarressed to ask anyone they know for help, so online companies do help.
