| How To Use Credit Card With Cash App |
But Wait, There's a Catch (of Course There Is)
Before you go on a spending spree worthy of a Kardashian, be warned: using a credit card on Cash App is like that friend who always promises to help you move but mysteriously vanishes on moving day. It can be done, but proceed with caution and a healthy dose of financial responsibility. Here's why:
QuickTip: Note key words you want to remember.
- Cash App charges a fee: That's right, using your credit card comes with a 2% service fee. So, for every $20 you add, you're essentially paying an extra $0.40. Not ideal, but hey, sometimes convenience comes at a cost (and in this case, it's literally a cost).
- It's basically like taking out a mini-loan: Remember, that money you're adding? It's not free. You'll have to pay it back with interest, so unless you're planning to settle your Cash App balance immediately, this can snowball into a debt situation faster than you can say "instant ramen."
So, How Do I Do This Credit Card Thing on Cash App, Anyway?
Alright, alright, I get it. You're still interested (and maybe a little bit desperate). Here's the lowdown on how to link your credit card and use it on Cash App:
Tip: Review key points when done.

- Open the Cash App and tap your profile picture.
- Select "Linked Banks" and then "Link Credit Card."
- Enter your credit card information and pray the Cash App gods accept your offering. (Okay, maybe not pray, but double-check the details to avoid any typos.)
- Once linked, you can choose your credit card as the payment method when sending money or making purchases.
Remember: This should be a last resort. If you can avoid using your credit card on Cash App, do it. But hey, if you find yourself in a pinch and absolutely need to use it, be mindful of the fees and interest, and pay your balance off ASAP.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
And lastly, a word to the wise: don't get caught in the trap of spending more than you can afford just because it's "easy" to add money with a credit card. Use it responsibly, my friends, and may your Cash App transactions be forever smooth (and fee-free)!
