Virgin Card selection warning
I saw somewhere on a chat board (here ?) that Virgin had run out of their black credit cards.

Is Egg's introductory offer only 6 months?
Ive just checked the Egg web site and it states 0% interest until 1 October 2005 on balance transfers.... Is there anyway I can get a 9 month deal out of them?
