Hi everyone!
Could you help me understand "cash in a few favors"? I found it in this sentence:
"My dad had to pull a few strings and cash in a few favors to keep me out of the army."
I guess it means "ask for a few favors" but I think I may be wrong after I checked "cash in" here http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/cash+inlink. "Cash in" is not related to "ask" at all.
Thanks for your help!
