Default Best ways to borrow cash?

I'm interested in the best way for me to get some cash to cover living expenses for 2-3 months while I look for a job, probably around $6k. I have only 1 credit card with a limit of $600 and I've never tried getting cash from it. I am currently unemployed but my credit score is decent.

The interest on credit card debt sucks major ass, and there are usually fees for cash advances as well. If you can find a card with very low to no interest for a year, then this would be an okay method. Borrowing directly from a family member would be best. If you feel weird borrowing from them directly, going to a bank and getting a family memeber with steady income to cosign a loan would be the next best option.

I did this, it was a pretty decent option, I only did $2K though. Take it out for the maximum length they'll offer if you decide to do this, as it will boost your credit score.

Having a family member cosign is not an option, since they live thousands of miles away and I might as well just borrow directly from them. I've lived without my parent's financial help for over 10 years so I'd rather not go down that road.

Essentially I just apply for all the credit cards I can, then get cash advances? I get about 10 credit card application a month so I suppose that shouldn't be too hard. What kinds of fees/interest am I looking at?
