That's something else to be careful of. If you're making the check out to yourself or buying bonds, the credit card company will probably consider these cash equivalents, and charge them as cash advances instead of purchases. Not only will you wind up paying a cash advance fee, the CC might not count it for minimum spend. Do a small test purchase first and see how it works out. Though even if the test works, it doesn't mean the CC won't claw it back.
