I am trying to get a few grand off the card to help pay down a CC/some bills with a higher interest in the meantime to get caught up and plan to pay it off by the end of the APR deadline. They will flag PayPal friends and family as a cash advance, so I can't do that. I could do a regular Paypal purchase and have it sent to my friend's account for example, it would incur a small fee. Are there any other options besides buying gift cards?
low-interest rate or 0% ?

Why buy gift cards? What is the point?
