Egg Card Anniversary Offer

in Credit cards
As you will all probably know, Egg offer 5 months interest free on balance transfers on the anniversary of your start month with them. When my anniversary came along last year, I transferred near to my limit from my egg card to offset the cost of interest on an Intelligent Fincance loan i have for the 5 months of 0% interest on the egg card. (this has saved me approx £50.00 per month - £250 for the five! which i will use to pay extra off the loan)
I am now in the final month of the interest free period and have in the last few days recieved an email from egg offering 3.9% on balance transfers till july 2006. They are of course cunningly trying to get me to transfer more debt onto the card prior to me paying the current balance off. Oh and they also upped my limit to accomodate a transfer.
Just a reminder to check your dates and clear any balances before you transfer into a promo rate!
hope this helps someone
