Charging money order to credit card?

[D'z Nutz]

Unfortunately, CIBC banks in my area are closed so I can't hit up a branch to find this out, so maybe someone here knows...

I have a CIBC Visa card, but not CIBC bank account. Is it possible to have a money order made up, but charged to my credit card?

go to western union, I just went to safeway last night bought a money order and charged it to my credit card:thumbsup:

Im pretty sure it will clasify as a cash advance and you'll have to start paying interest right away on it.

Yeah it probably will. They are usually about 1/2 the rate you would normally be charged.

You should check out a Visa venture line of credit card if you are going to be continually doing cash advances. If not, usually you do pay interest right away.

you guys sure he's talking about cash advances? I thought he just needs a standard money order:dunno:

Yeah but to purchase a money order you do so with cash. When you use cash on your Visa you are charged interest immediatly.

Give CIBC Credit Card Services a call at 1-800-465-4653. They'll be able to tell you for sure, but I tend to agree that it will be treated the same as a cash advance, plus the usual fee for a money order.

Yeah, makes sense. Thanks a lot for the help, everyone!
