Cash Advance - CitiAdvantage Platinum Select???

I opened up a Citigold account on 11-23-15. I called to verify that it was approved, and also verified that I have 30 days to fund with CC - to which the answer was yes.

Without asking, the phone agent informed me that it would be a cash advance. Odd since everyone else here seems to have it post as a purchase. I will be funding with a CitiAddvantage Platinum Select MC. Has anyone with this card gotten a CA post - i will be doing a LARGE fund and do not want a CA charge.

Thanks.
