| There are many kinds of "cash advance". You can't buy lottery tickets on a credit card (or in jurisdictions where you can, it's a cash advance). Credit cards also treat things such as buying dollar coins online from the US Mint different from a normal transaction. https://gosunward.org/articles/cash-advance-on-a-credit-card... |

| There is a whole lot of merchant categories that is treated like withdrawing money from an ATM. I believe the term is “quasicash”. |

| In Australia any sort of gambling payment on a credit card is treated as a cash advance. If you use PayPal on top of your credit card, the credit card company still manages to introspect it and apply a cash advance fee. |

| It’s a cash advance since you’re not purchasing goods or services with the card. |
