So I finally got around to opening up a minimal PenFed account ($5) so I could get their Platinum Rewards Visa card. As I'm not govt/military person, I also coughed up the one-time 20 bucks to join the families of military (or whatever it's called) association. PenFed said that charging that $25 to my credit card would register as a cash advance, but I didn't think much about it at the time.
So I got my credit card bill in the mail today, and along with the $25 cash advance there is a $5 cash advance fee and a $2 interest fee on the advance! So basically I paid a 28% "convenience fee" for using my credit card rather than sending a check.
Sheesh...
