It is a check drawn on your credit card just like any other check you write, except that it is considered a cash advance by your credit company, and interest begins to acrue immediately. You cannot write more convenience checks than the amount of credit you have left on your card.

It is a really bad way of using your credit card. Expensive and dangerous. The credit card company sends them out with each statement. I had my mail stolen once, and the thief wrote convenience checks all over town on my card. I did not have to pay for the stolen credit, but it was no easy task to get the paperwork completed.

It is in the best interests of the credit card company to have you use them, because the interest starts immediately, and at the highest possible rate. It is not in YOUR best interests, however, and therefore cannot be called convenient by any stretch of the imagination!
