Egg Money discontinued?

CopperPlate_2

I've just been to the Egg website and see that all reference to Egg Money has been removed. Normally there's mention of the Egg Card and Egg Money, but there is now only Egg Card links available.

I haven't seen anything in the media or on the Egg site to say that the product was being pulled?

The link to the 'Banking' part of the site is below:

Any ideas?

As a current holder I'm hoping that there's no change.

The Egg Money agreement has been removed from the 'Legals' page as well:

It may be that it's now not open to any new applicants - I can't see how anyone can apply for it now?

Just checked on the egg site, egg money still there. May only be for existing accounts though as you suggest.

Where are you seeing it? I still see it when I log in but, as I said, it is not available as a product on the main egg site which would enable new applicants to apply for it.

Just found this hidden on the egg site:

Suggestions on the cashback level when it's reissued? 0.5%, 0.25%? What reduction in benefits?

Just gone onto usual egg site and then into accounts. All i'm saying is that egg has not withdrawn existing accounts and, as you indicate, that they may have withdrawn for new customers.

I'm feeling a bit lucky then, only got my Egg Money card a fortnight ago!

This doesn't mean they'll be modifying the agreement for us current holders right? I guess they'd have to inform us in writing

They pulled it a couple of weeks ago around the 22/11/08. Some discussion (at the time) on the stoozing site...

Maybe the 4% in-credit rate is being reviewed. If/when yet another base rate cut comes it may be paying more than many savings accounts.
