Paypal and credit card question
If I use my credit card thru paypal to send money to a friend, is it considered cash advance or regular purchase?

It's a purchase, but Paypal will deduct a small % as a fee.

Since it isn't hard to figure out where this thread is leading, it should be noted that there have been several threads discussing using PayPal as a means to obtain miles, and the perils and pitfalls associated with it:

As this was posted in the general miles buzz forum versus a credit card board, and another poster was kind enough to refer the OP to some other threads of interest, I'll be closing it here.
