Quoted from Pins4me:Thank all for some very sound advice. Your right. I never really stepped back and looked at it as you folks are mentioning.
My hope was to only carry that last $2000 over until the latest of next years tax return, but between the cash advance fees and interest rates, that $2k would balloon to like $3900 in a year.
I am a CPA. Please do not do this. Unless you had to get the game right the second and you could pay off the card before your next statement, do not do this. It's good to have credit activity, but not balances sitting out there forever. Even if you have a low interest rate, you are still going to pay a lot more for a game. Don't do it. To put it into perspective, use this:

Under personal finance, choose credit card payoff. You can play around with that calculator and it will tell you how long it will take to pay off your card and the amount of interest you will end up paying.
Not worth it at all. Pay for a game you can afford NOW. Not one you can pay off in two years.
