Cash advance in US dollars?
Might be a dumb question, but I haven't been to the States....
If I wanted US CASH, could I do a cash advance (in US dollars) from my Canadian credit card, and pay it off right away so minimal interest? And could that be done in Canada or US, at a ATM or Branch, or "all of the above".
I realize most credit cards would cost more than just going to the bank... But I was looking at getting the Amazon card with no foreign exchange fees, so it would only cost the 1% advance fee??
Second, can I use a Canadian debit card (CIBC) to withdraw cash in the US?
Or am I best to just go to CIBC teller or atm and withdraw there (and hope I guess the right amount i need)?
