Discover credit card owners can get cash from their revolving line of credit from an ATM, a bank teller or a cash deposit to your checking account. However, this is an expensive option with high fees and interest that accrues from the day you make your transaction. Because of that, try to keep this option for emergencies only.

To get a Discover card cash advance, first you need a Discover credit card. Then you have four cash advance options:

• Cash withdrawal from an ATM
• Cash withdrawal from a bank teller
• Cash deposit to your checking account
• Cash access checks (check your eligibility by logging in to your online account)

Discover considers the following credit card transactions to be cash advances:

• Cash withdrawal from an ATM or a bank teller
• Casino chips

• Foreign currency

Discover comes with one of the highest cash advance fees. Because of that, it’s recommended that cash advances should be used as a last resort. The cost of Discover cash advance is:

• A 5% fee of the amount with a $10 minimum.
• The average cash advance APR is 26.99% but it could vary between cards.

This means a $500 cash withdrawal from an ATM would cost $25 in fees right off the bat. If the ATM has additional fees, that could be another $3 on top. With the current interest rates, your $528 cash advance plus fees would cost around $11 in interest if you pay it off after 30 days. Here’s a quick breakdown:

If you think you’re heading into a situation where you’ll need financial help, look at other financial options before you turn to cash advances. Some strong alternatives include 0% APR credit cards and balance transfer credit cards. These cards can help you stay afloat financially and keep interest at bay during the introductory period.

Discover cash advances are expensive. Use them only in emergencies and if you can’t get a cheaper cash option.

If you’re looking for cards with low cash advance fees and interest, compare such credit cards and choose the one that meets your needs.
