They treat it as cash advances, not as a credit card charge.

u/ShimonaLisa, Its-a-write-off is correct.

As a cash advance:

  1. they get charged the cash advance fee,
  2. they start accruing interest right away, and
  3. they don't earn any points or other rewards.

So, what you're proposing isn't really a good idea, and it's definitely not going to be "free."
