Can I use my Capital One card to pay off another credit card
You can't pay direct monthly payments for one card with another card. It's possible to take out a cash advance on one credit card to pay off another, but it's not a good idea.
Is Capital One balance transfer instant
After your balance transfer request is approved
If approved, your balance transfer will be processed immediately. However, the time it takes to reach your other creditor can take about 10 business days.
What is the catch to a balance transfer
But there's a catch: If you transfer a balance and are still carrying a balance when the 0% intro APR period ends, you will have to start paying interest on the remaining balance. If you want to avoid this, make a plan to pay off your credit card balance during the no-interest intro period.
What is the downside of a balance transfer
A balance transfer generally isn't worth the cost or hassle if you can pay off your balance in three months or less. That's because balance transfers typically take at least one billing cycle to go through, and most credit cards charge balance transfer fees of 3% to 5% for moving debt.
Can balance transfers be rejected
If you attempt to transfer a balance from one credit card to another card from the same card issuer, your balance transfer will likely be denied. Most issuers have restrictions on transferring balances between accounts.
How much will it cost in fees to transfer a $1000 balance to a credit card
It costs $30 to $50 in fees to transfer a $1,000 balance to a credit card, in most cases, as balance transfer fees on credit cards usually equal 3% to 5% of the amount transferred. Some credit cards even have no balance transfer fee, but it's rare for cards that do this to also have a 0% introductory APR on transfers.
Is it illegal to pay off a credit card with another credit card
The short answer is no. Credit card companies don't allow you to make minimum monthly payments, or to pay off an outstanding balance, with another credit card from a different company. Often, the fees for these types of transactions are too high for credit card companies to allow it.
Can I transfer money from Capital One credit card to my bank account

Can I still use my credit card after a balance transfer
You may continue using the card as before even if you've paid the entire balance. Closing the account might have a negative effect on your creditworthiness.
Why might a balance transfer fail
Your credit limit is too low
The issuer will hold your balance transfer request until they are able to confirm the amount to transfer in relation to your credit limit. If your credit limit is lower than the amount of money you requested to transfer from another card, the issuer will likely reject the request.
Is it better to do balance transfer or pay off
But in general, a balance transfer is the most valuable choice if you need months to pay off high-interest debt and have good enough credit to qualify for a card with a 0% introductory APR on balance transfers. Such a card could save you plenty on interest, giving you an edge when paying off your balances.
Do balance transfers always get approved
Balance transfers are a great debt-consolidation tool, but unfortunately not everyone will qualify for a balance transfer credit card. And even if you are, it may not be for the full amount of your debt.
How much is a 3% balance transfer fee on a transfer of $2000
Often this amount falls somewhere between 3% and 5%, depending on the lender. Say you want to transfer a $2,000 balance to a card with a 3% balance transfer fee. This means your balance transfer fee would come out to $60.
Is 3% a good balance transfer fee
In almost all cases, a 3% balance transfer fee is worth paying, and sometimes even a 5% fee. Credit cards have extremely high interest rates, and because of that, credit card debt can be very difficult to get out of.
Should I pay off my credit card in full or leave a small balance
It's a good idea to pay off your credit card balance in full whenever you're able. Carrying a monthly credit card balance can cost you in interest and increase your credit utilization rate, which is one factor used to calculate your credit scores.
