Using debit and credit cards is a fast and easy way to pay for things. But sometimes, cash is preferred and when you need it in a pinch—your cards can still come in handy. In particular, you can even use your credit card to get cash through what’s called a cash advance.
By tapping into your line of credit, you can still have the benefit of borrowing money to cover an expense and still paying with physical cash if the merchant requires it.
