    What about the BIGGIE. Is it possible to pay your mortgage payments with a credit card?
    Also does anyone know the maximum Egg pay per year in cashback?

    Thanks.

    Thanks.

    With regards to a mortgage payment, I have never heard of a bank that will let you pay by credit card. If you are talking about the Egg Money card, then the maximum cashback is £200 a year.
  • I have an Egg card and recently priced a new washing machine. Through a price checker site I found a Bosch WAE2416s at roughly £279 with free delivery. Dixons offer the same washing machine for £279 however if you use the 5% off egg link the same macine retails at £285. WHY?
  • I started using my amex platinum in April with the promise of 2% moneyback if I spend £7500 in a year. I then recieved a letter in August telling me that I would now only get 1.5% if I spent over £10,001. Has anyone else had this 'shifting of the goalposts' from amex. I reckon they've done it when it became clear that I would easily exceed the £7500!! Also has anyone tried to contact amex to complain? They don't take e-mails and their help line asks loads of type 1,2,3 or 4 questions and then cuts you off after exactly 5 minutes on hold! Is it me?

    I recently got a Morgan Stanley credit card. Although still advertised on their website 3%cashback until February, there was not mention of this in the bumph they sent me. When I rang them they said the 3% deal was still on. In my first statement I only recieved 1% cashback. When I rang them they told me this was a mistake but it could not be sorted out over the phone and I would need to write. I have done this with no result as yet. Any advice please?

    Hi... I think my cash back deal is better than yours! ner... How about the GE money card.?.. 3% cash back on all your petrol and food shopping!! (upto a £5000 PA limit. Thats still a tidy sum) 0.5% on everything else..AND it's not an introductory offer either!! Ooo oo and you can set up a direct debit to pay it all off each month...Wheee!.. I can't think of anything bad with this card. If someone can ....Do tell.

    Should be on th back of your agreement? My first statement had the correct 3% on it.

    Whats even better is that it seems to be paying 3% on everything and continues past £5k. Shame they have pulled it :(
  • Just phone up amex and do a direct debit for the full amoount. I have had the BA amex card and now th platinum card and in both cases pay full amount by dd evry month.
