So, for each cash withdrawal against the credit card, you would pay 3 percent of the total, unless 3 percent of the total was under $10. You will pay a minimum of $10 for each cash withdrawal . . . but will pay 3 percent of the total otherwise. The minimum you can withdraw and pay 3 percent vs. $10 would be $334, rounded up to the nearest dollar. In that case you would pay $10.02.

It’s ambiguous though and the best advice would be to check with the credit card company.

Credit cards are usually the most expensive option for making cash withdrawals. Beware of using them overseas in particular where you not only get charged the withdrawal fee, but a currency exchange and commission fee !

Debit cards don’t normally cost anything unless you are using a host machine from an alternative bank.
