Egg Money cashback loophole

HGLTsuperstar

Been a while since had such a positive balance on my EM card so forgotten how to do this.
To move to my external account and get the cashback, am I right in thinking I first need to move it to my egg savings then transfer out?
Thanks in advance

Yes..but it's now too late to be included in 2009's cashback anyway. Statements are being produced today and annual cashback will be paid during the next statement period. Anything from today onwards falls into 'next year' and cannot be redeemed for another 12 months...

I do so hope you're wrong Milarky, being as my statement date is next week.

The T&C's say (the last time I looked at them anyway) that your February statemented cashback total will be paid in March (last year it was the 6th?).

Can someone explain how this loophole works anyway, for future reference? I can't find any details. Thanks...

My statement date is today, and last year my cashback was paid on the 4th

Apologies. I guessed at the 6th (knew it was early), but on checking now I see mine was the 4th as well.

I think Egg closed this loophole last year. I had built up a decent amount of cashback via this route, and it was all taken back by Egg and not paid.

My statement date is 27th - and has been since I first got the card

My statement for March will be produced on the 2nd March and the cashback is usually credited a couple of days later. The thing is that the amount from the Feb statement will go on to this years amount but anything I spend from the 2nd Feb onwards will go onto next years (if there is a 'next year').

I believe some MAY slip through, I did 2, one recalled but one still on after 6 months. It costs nothing to try.
