Using credit card for backup funding in Paypal consider Cash Advance or just regular purchase?

offer credit card
Currently I have Bank as my primary and credit card for my secondary. I’m thinking to switch because I have 0% offer from a credit card on purchase till June 2010. Just want to make sure it’s not considered Cash advance or has any fee. Please suggest. Thanks.

What banks will let you use a credit card for the opening deposit when you open a savings account?

credit card
I want to open a savings account for about $700 and charge the opening deposit to a credit card. The credit card gets points, which would be good for a gift card if I had about 700 more. I want to close the credit card account, but only after I get enough points, to not waste the points I already have. I’m going to open a savings account anyway, so I figure I might as well get those 700 points from it. In any case, the savings account should pay high interest and should allow transactions between banks online.
For example, Bank of America will let you open a checking account online, and use a credit card to fund it. The credit card transaction will be a purchase, not a cash advance. But I want to know what other banks will do that, and which of them will do it for savings accounts.

Can I buy a car using my credit card?

offer credit card
I thinking about buying a car 20grand out the door max. I dont want a lecture on credit please.

1. One is to buy car and put it on my credit card. Can this be done? Do dealership take credit cards?

2. I have really good credit and get these blank 0% APR until, lets say July 2007 all the time. I can use these for purchase or deposit it in my bank account but it will be treated as a cash advance and has a max fee of $90. So if I write a check for $10,000, there will be a fee of $90. So I was thinking of writing the check to the dealership or myself. When July 07 comes and interest rate kick in, I would transfer that balance to another credit card with 0% offer. So overall I pay 0% interest and all I lose is about $90 in fees, and my car will probably be paid off by the time the promotion period ends.

It’s Feb 2008 are any credit card companies offering a 0% APR on purchases?

offer credit card
I’m noticing that alot of credit card companies are not offering 0% on purchases rather they are offering 0% on balance transfers and cash advance. This is not what I want since balance transfers and cash advance come with a fee.

Anyone know who is still given 0% on purchases.

Thanks

For a credit card.
Oooohh. I don’t think i’d ever be doing that. I just want to have it so I can establish credit. All my money goes into my checking and I will pay off the credit card.
