Egg Money Card denied

supergirls_sister

Hiya,

I would like to start with stoozing.
A while ago (May 2008) I've tried to open an Egg Money Card
but my application got denied.

According to
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cards/stooze-cash-credit-cards
one needs the Egg Money Card to start stoozing.

I'm just wondering whether anyone knows a different card
instead of the Egg Money Card?

Also, do you think it's worthwhile to give it another try to
apply for the Egg Money Card now?

Don't know - but would I have a higher chance that my application
gets approved if I open a new Egg savings account
http://new.egg.com/visitor/0,,3_11093--View_401,00.html
and put some money in before I apply again?
If so, how much do you reckon should I put in?

Cheerio,
XX supergirl's sister

Do you have an idea of why you were denied? I applied over a week ago and got accepted straight away. Maybe it's worth ringing up and asking them?

Egg Money is the only card I've been declined instantly for (i.e. not a "we'll get back to you" message). If you ever find out why you were declined, please let me know!

Remember, you can also start stoozing by getting an SBT card like Virgin, or by slow stoozing (spending on a 0% purchases card).

There's no other card like it, however see my previous posts for other cards which may help you start stoozing.

Normally you have to wait 6 months before applying again with the same institution, but other people might be able to share their experiences.

That's actually a good idea, I think. I've just done exactly this, thanks for the advice.
