If you are a sports enthusiast, you probably know that the best offensive team does not necessarily win the championship. Instead, it is normally the best defensive team that will come out on top. Of course, to score - you need offense. But with a solid defense, you do not need to score very often to win. As long as your team does not concede any points, then you cannot lose – a draw is
When the consumer takes a cash advance, they almost never get a “grace period”, even if the card normally has one; interest is charged as soon as they take the advance. Interest on cash advances are often charged at a higher rate than interest on a purchase. On an average, a cash advance fee is between 1% and 2% of the amount of the advance. Be real careful, many credit card companies have surcharges for cash advances, and or they charge a higher interest rate compared to charges that are made to purchase goods and services directly.
A balance transfer, often viewed as a cash advance by the credit card companies, is also subject to fees and interest as soon as the transfer is made.

CONVENIENCE CHECKS
Those unexpected checks issued by your bank that show up in the mail box at the right time. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those are not “FREE”. They are referred to as “Convenience Checks”. Even the most tempting offer is wrapped with hidden fees and traps that make the risk far greater than the reward.
Unfortunately, the consumer has to deal with the same pitfalls as they do with cash advances and balance transfers. Convenience checks start accruing interest on the balance immediately from the time its redeemed, unlike credit card charges, which are interest free if the consumer pay the charges off before the due date.
Some credit card companies may charge hefty fees just to issue the check, usually around 2 to 5% of the check amount. (Read the check and any the offer letter carefully, in some cases the bank may not list the interest, so it’s best to consult with the bank before accepting the convenience check).
The “BIGGEST DISADVANTAGE” is if your card has an existing balance, and you make a payment, the payment will be applied to the lowe
