Where did you buy in Budapest? I did the same thing last month, got a cheap balance transfer offer and bought a small place to work from in District 6.

But yes, for future reference, you need to let the card company make the transfer. I got them to transfer it into my bank account at home and then just transfered it to Hungary.

Rather then paying the cash advance rates for the duration, you should try and find some other card company with a low or 0% transfer rate and do a transfer. Otherwise you should get a regular bank loan to cover it, because those cash advance rates are lethal.
