whether this is legal or not, it is not advisable to have such kind of transaction because it do have a high interest rate. this will surely put you into trouble in the long run. we all know that once you are not able to pay off completely your balance then it will be subjected for interest charges. these interests charges are added into your account and could accumulated into a large amount which will eventually be difficult or impossible to settle.

Not illegal but it does not seem like a good idea.

i don't know if it was ever illegal , but it was certainly called kiting...

these days credit card companies are very pleased to give cash advances. You pay the highest amount of interest from day #1. so it's lucrative for the credit card companies.

I do not recommend somebody using their credit cards for income... it will certainly bite them in the butt later on.

This activity is perfectly LEGAL. Once you take a cash advance, you can do anything with it including giving it away, spending it at the racetrack. throwing it down the nearest sewer or making a payment on a line of credit. NO PROBLEM
