For those (myself included!!) who might be having difficulty in the 0% stoozing stakes at the moment:

1.9% pa fixed until 1 July 2006 from now until 28 February 2006 on balances transferred to your Egg Card. From 2 July 2006 you'll pay our standard rate, currently 15.9% pa variable. For each balance transfer made there is a 2% handling fee (maximum £50).

    I've just received an e-mail offering this as well. My anniversary month is June, so I thought at first they'd sneakily done it to make me miss my anniversary 0%.

    Thing is I do have a debt on another card at 0% which runs out early March, so I would like to transfer but thought I shouldn't waste a new card application because its only a three month gap between this and my egg anniversary.

    So maybe I could take up this 1.9% offer, but then in late May transfer balance onto current account, and on 1 June back to Egg at 0% again. Does anyone think I will get away with this?

    Mines in June 2 and got the offer as well

    Offcourse I'm ignoring it as there is no profit in it :)

    Will wait for the anniversary at 0% with the flat fee of £50 on £14k not much to worry about.
