Egg introductory offer

SirLink

My six-month higher interest introductory period with Egg is about to expire. Can I close my Egg and open a new one with Egg, thus getting a new introductory offer?

If not, where should I move my money to get the best interest rate without tying it up, Bradford & Bingley perhaps?

Many thanks

Once it has opened, transfer your money from your old savings to your new (under One Off Transfers), then contact customer services by secure e-mail (within Egg) and cancel the old account.

To take advantage of the 5.5% new introductory rate at Egg, you cannot transfer money direct from another Egg a/c. If you want to invest the money that's currently in an existing Egg a/c, you'll have to transfer it to your current a/c and then back in to the new a/c (debit card is an excellent way of making such a deposit, as highlighted by Mr .
