This can't be right, can it? (Egg Money cash back)

in Stoozing: free cash from credit cards
I've just noticed on my Egg Money statement (my first one) that my "cash back this period" has been calculated to include 1% of *everything* that went out of my account. Including the two stooz amounts transfered to my Egg Savings account (which aren't even in that any more). :j

Do think they will really pay up?

    Got the same on my last statement,
    two good stooz amounts, in and out,
    and 1% from egg.m

    don't you just love them!

    Yep. I got £78 added for last months transfer by BACS of £7800 to my current a/c.

    I think, you only get cashback if you telephone them and ask for the transfer.

    No idea if they will pay up -- don't even know when in March they pay the cashback. Just have to wait and see.

    I was told a couple of weeks ago by an Egg CS Rep and Supervisor that there is a £100 limit to BACS transfers...I guess this is to stop such cashback bonanzas.

    what method did you use to transfer your Stooz amounts....
    were they BACS or some other method (e.g. secure message to Egg instructing them to move the money ??)

    If I do a BT from A&L for £1800 to my Egg card then transfer that to a bank account will I get cash back on the BT to Egg then?:confused:

    You might, since the posters above seem to have had it added to their accounts, but won't you also have to pay A&L £36 for the BT from Egg?

    My 'guess' would be that you spoke to 2 Egg employees who didn't have a clue about their product!

    A&L have offered me a free Bt becuase of a mistake they made when I opened the accound, so I wondered what the best way to use it was.

    Then get in there quick and BT to the max, you'll be quids in even if you dont get the cashback on top. My thought being do it now before they close the cashback loophole
