I just got my first credit card. I haven't spent anything on it but I see that the Cash Advance APR is 27.5%.
Can someone tell me in layman terms what this means?

A "cash advance" is when you use your credit card in such a way that you receive cash. For example, if you use your credit card in an ATM machine and receive cash.
You should never ever use your credit card for a cash advance.
Thanks for the answer! I had no idea! Also, that means that I shouldn't even take Cashback from retail stores either, right?

Right, never take cash. The interest rate as you can see is awful, there is no grace period, so interest begins accruing immediately. MAYBE if you were being robbed and literally had a gun to your head, it would be worth it, otherwise don't even think about it.

A cash advance from a credit card is either using the card to get cash from an ATM, or sometimes you get checks that you can use. Any outstanding balance on these transactions will accrue interest at 27.5% annually.
The big downsides with these cash advances is that typically they get prioritized behind the normal credit card balance and they begin accruing interest immediately, not after balance due date like normal credit card purchases. So there's no avoiding interest with a cash advance, and if you use the cash advance and spend normally on your credit card, any payments over the minimum due will be applied to the credit card balance first, leaving as much of the cash advance balance intact to accrue interest at that fantastic rate.
Best to avoid cash advances. Also, ideally you always pay off your statement balance each month to avoid any interest payments.
