    The first batch of letters were received last Friday/Saturday, and cardholders are still reporting receiving letters today.

    Since it may take several more days for all 161,000 letters to be received, isn't there a danger that many people will vote in both polls (yours first, and then Martin's)?

    Why let facts get in the way of two highly scientific internet surveys? ;)

    I now come under "I OFTEN use it and always/almost always REPAY IN FULL", however 6 months ago I was "I've LARGER DEBTS on it and have MISSED/BEEN LATE with repayments".

    We had a lot of fiasco, narrowly missed penalty charges but was threatened with Default and ended up on a "payment plan" for the £16 I was over my limit...

    I paid off all my unsecured debt in September and have been paying off full balance ever since. My Egg Visa did up its APR to 27% but I haven't been cancelled.

    I wonder why the egg site is down this morning ? Although you can still apply for a credit card :o) ! Whenever I have logged on it has always been available.
    I've been with them for 10 years and have a visa card which is set to be paid in full each month, I have savings with them and haven't received a letter.

    You've been extremely lucky then. This isn't the first time (though it's the first time it's been down for this long that I can remember.)

    Really ? I logged on twice on Monday and then this morning. I've only noticed the site being down once and that was so many years ago I thought it not worth mentioning.

    Not sure how I ought to vote as I have a visa and mastercard egg card?!?
    Is this the sheep survey and the other one the goat survey?
    When I get the letter tomorrow, can I set up a chimera survey?
