Egg Money Account

zeberdy

My 0% deal with tesco is coming to an end and looking for another 0% to do a BT to. Applied for HSBS but seems a bit slow from coments read so applied online for egg and got instant decision and surficient credit to cover BT.

1. The questoin is do I have to wait for card or can I ring up and arange balance transfer prior to card arriving.

2. Are their any problems with egg that I should be aware of ?

3. What is the online Account management like tescos was very poor only showed balances no breakdown of purchases.

Only planning to BT and not spend on card monthly spend will continue on Tesco card if you get the point !!!

Thanks

Your post title mentions Egg Money, yet your post talks about "another 0% to do a BT to". I'm basing my reply on the assumption that your post title is wrong!

When I took my Egg Card out last year I SBT'd online so had to wait for the card to arrive and activate it online first. If no-one else can offer a difinitive answer on this one you might have to phone Egg to ask. However, as it sounds like you're in a rush, you ought to be aware that Egg have been having a massive advertising push on TV and in the press recently so are bound to be snowed under with new applicants. In fact, I've been waiting for 2 weeks now for my Egg Money card to arrive.

2. Are their any problems with egg that I should be aware of ?

There can be 'problems' with all cards if you don't read the T&C's. Egg have a first class FAQ section on their website - I suggest you use it.

3. What is the online Account management like tescos was very poor only showed balances no breakdown of purchases.

I think it's excellent!

Thanks YB for your reply I assume you mean it should be egg money card or am I CONFUSED as there are egg accounts but from reading egg card pays interest on + balances.

As you say I will bell them today always a good way of checking out the service.

thanks

Plus if you get an egg green also you get the annual 5 months 0% but with fee each year. Two cards that are worth having at the moment.

Egg have 2 credit cards...

Egg Money - the one with 4% AER on +ve balances, and 6.9% APR (typical) on purchases and BT's

Egg Card - the one with 0% on balance transfers and the anniversary offer

Your post seems to say you wanted a 0% BT card, but you seem to have applied for the Egg Money card - unless I've misunderstood you?

Which product have you applied for?
