confusion : The middle route + 'tarting'

Thanks mate. I dont know why search isn't working for me. I tried it on several machines to eliminate setup problems.

I was looking for an answer from someone who had done it, a post earlier in this thread mentions 'another thread' but I can't find it.

In terms of testing with a small BACs transfer I have read that people are uncertain about when they get their cashback so I am under the impression that my test would prove futile! I would be pleased to be corrected here.

If you are certain that the online BT's don't attract cashback (as I would expect) then it must be the BACs (but I still find it a surprise). I just didn't want to select the wrong option and regret it

This was what I was talking about, from the OP

I'm also planning to transfer £10,000 savings into the egg money, and get 2% for transferring it out as mentioned on another thread on here. Do you think both stoozing and taking advantage of the 2% is a bad idea, as I'd like to keep the card long-term.

I just can't find that thread. Was the OP correct?

Yes, it certainly was, cheers my friend. As stated in that post, BACs is how you are meant to get your money out so I am hoping they are not penalising people for the loophole they have left. I wont be moving a lot of money this way, just wanted to try it as I got a bigger than expected CC 0% offer and wanted to use it up.

Got my statement today, no cashback on transfer to current account done this week by phone. Appears as a balance transfer, did not do transfer to earn cashback so quite happy.... Loophole closed or way CSA processed?

It was originally mentioned here I believe in post #32:

I purposefully asked for a 'BACS transfer' several times. When the transaction was confirmed verbally (and via an email) it was described as a balance transfer. So I guess no-one is getting 2% for nothing anymore! Oh well, would have been nice though!

One other thing, the transfer (with a positive balance) was not limited by the credit limit as I have seen suggested elsewhere. I did not think it would be (as it is our money) but others have had a problem from what they had posted

If this in reference to my recent posts, then I was referring to the Egg Green Card - not Egg Money.
