Egg vs Alliance + Leicester charges abroad

Hi all,
I'm going away on Thursday and stupidly havn't taken out a Nationwide card. My choices for foreign cash are:
Egg Money card (in credit)
Alliance and Leicester Premier Direct account
Would I be right in thinking that Egg is the winner at 2.95% for ATMs, as A+L seems to have an additional 2%? I just wanted someone to check over the fine print with me here:
Egg charges
A+L charges
Of course, I could also convert some cash now to keep me going (I may be away for a while)

I was in the same situation when considering which back-up card to take to my Nationwide. Egg was the 'cheaper' for purchases.2p off is still 2p off!0

Thanks, that's what I suspect for cash advances too. If anyone sees otherwise or has any other ideas, let me know!~ Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts ~

Why don't you use the Egg for purchases? Or just send Egg a secure message asking for clarification on charges2p off is still 2p off!0
