Is there any reason not to use a credit card to buy bitcoins if using a tumbler?

I've used LibertyX with Cash in combination with Grams Helix and the results were fine. But I was wondering, is there any real reason to use cash if I'm going to tumble and get fresh bitcoins anyway? Buying bitcoins is legal, after all, and I'm sure tumbling them is too. Is the cash part just excess if tumbling as I suspect or is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

If you are confident that your privacy is not compromised during or after tumbling, it should not be detectable what method of payment was used. More accurately, the coins purchased on a card should be just as untraceable as coins purchased with cash, if the tumbling is private and effective. That could be a big "if" though, as it consolidates the trust to a degree.

Buying bitcoins with credit card might incur a cash advance fee FYI.

I wasnt too sure how that cash advance fee worked and thought it might hit me immediately with the ~20% fee (ie: buying $100 instantly costing me $20) but after talking with the credit card company i found out is is actually charged at a daily rate of the fee divided by 365 days... So if you pay it off instantly you would only incur a fee of the % divided by 365 per day..

So it is actually not that bad if you pay it off quick...

In regards to your concerns about opsec i am sorry but i cannot offer too much help there.
