    Your bank might have cash advance options, you can go to a cash advance shop, or consider having a credit card handy for cases like these. Worst case, you would be out 3% for cash advance fees.

    You and me both buddy. I remember waiting on once a month advertising checks though and I wish I had a credit card for the swing in delivery dates. I remember having to apply for loans every couple of months and being charged 40-45% interest rates because of them being short-term.

    For a small amount like $300 family members or friends are the best option. Pay them back promptly and through them $25.

    Yea, thats terrible. But anyways i guess its my lucky day, I just received a payment earlier than expected on paypal so there is no need for the loan :)

    thanks, i will keep the answers in mind for another time when i might need it.
