Unlock Cash from 0% APR Balance Transfers: Five Smart Strategies for Major Expenses
song.url
Balance transfers are a popular way to manage credit card debt, offering a chance to shift balances from high-interest cards to those with a lower APR—often 0% for up to 21 months. But did you know you can also use these offers to access cash for major expenses like a wedding, home improvement, or starting a business?
In this post, I’ll walk you through five practical strategies to turn a 0% APR balance transfer into cash.
Many banks, including Chase, Barclay, Citi, and Wells Fargo, provide balance transfer checks to cardholders. These checks can be written to yourself and deposited directly into your bank account, making this the simplest way to convert a balance transfer into cash.
Pro Tip: If you have multiple checks from the same issuer, you can maximize your cash access by:
If you don’t receive balance transfer checks, call your bank to request them. Some issuers may even offer an ACH deposit directly to your account.
Here’s a creative way to free up cash: use your 0% APR credit card for regular expenses, such as business purchases, instead of paying upfront. For example, I advised a store owner looking to fund a $60,000 expansion to swipe his $40,000 monthly expenses on a 0% APR card. By paying the card balance gradually, he preserved his cash for the expansion.
This strategy works well for anyone with steady expenses and the discipline to manage repayments.
Another option is to overpay a credit card balance and then request a refund. Here’s how:
Caution: This method is more difficult to execute nowadays, as banks are cracking down on overpayment refunds. To minimize the risk:
PayPal and Venmo allow you to send money to friends or family using a credit card, though they charge a fee of about 3%. Be aware, though:
Famigo’s BravoPay app (formerly Bravo Pay) is another way to send person-to-person payments using a credit card. With fees ranging from 3% to 3.6%, it allows for larger payment volumes than PayPal or Venmo.
Currently, major credit card issuers do not treat BravoPay transactions as cash advances, reducing the risk of extra fees or account restrictions.
When used responsibly, credit cards with 0% APR balance transfer offers can be an excellent way to access cash for up to 21 months interest-free. This can save you significant money compared to high-interest personal loans. However, these strategies require careful planning and a good credit score to pull off successfully.
⚠️ A Friendly Reminder: Always use credit cards responsibly and only borrow what you can repay.
