Could anyone tell me if you still get cashback if your egg money account has a positive balance? - have just BTd 6K to it which i plan to move in a week when clear but also need to buy a bathroom suite from B+Q for £750 before next Friday as they have given me a cheaper price if i buy before then!! - if i use my Egg Money card will i still get cashback even though the purchase may be made before i shift the stoozed amount?
sorry if if this sounds a bit confusing!?!:o

Hope I'min the correct place. I've just been sorting out my statements etc. My cashback bonus from Morgan Stanley is usually due 26/1. Received statement this morning and the cashback award is still on info page. Rang Morgan Stanley because you now have to request it but and this is a big but ......you can only request it in multiples of £15.00. I am not happy about this because to get exactly £45 or £60 is nigh on impossible and they will not put the residue (ie my cashback is £47.27) against any balance.

HAs anyone else noticed this or has any ideas other than swapping cards?

It is annoying, but I guess to be fair, it was pointed out fairly clearly in the scheme rules.

Hi, I'm on MINT and went to them because of cashback deal, which was 1% i think. It stopped showing cashback online last year, and i randomly got a payment not too long after from cashback, and I rang them and they said it was still going.

Does anyone know if this is still running?

Hi all,

I just read an interesting blog post here:

This chap seems to be paying his GE Money credit card bill with his Morgan Stanley credit card - thus getting 3% cashback and then another 1% cashback.

Anyone else tried this and been successful?

My first thought would be that this would be classed as a cash advance and would therefore attract very high rates of interest straight away.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable in these matters could give a definate answer...

thank you for your reply prudryden, maybe they have changed the scheme rules because I used to get the full amount of cashback each Jan. I don't suppose it matters really because I can just cash back throughout the year. It was just at the time I was a bit put out because I it was my money.

Anyway off to play in the snow.....yipppeeeeeeeee

Had the same thing myself, when I phoned to ask for my cashback to be credited they pointed out it was in multiples of £15 (seems an odd number to choose, why not £5 or £10....I think I know the answer to that to be honest).

I guess it's a matter of keeping an eye on your cashback balance online and everytime it gets to £15 get it credited to your account.

It's a shame that there isn't an online facility for requesting your cashback rather than having to call them.

Sounds unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Guess you would have to try it to be able to confirm it - however, might get burned by cash advance charges to find out.

I have been using a citibank credit card for about 2 years now and have always recieved 1% cashback. The citibank website now quotes 0.5% cashback - however I have just received an email from citibank confirming the cashback is still 1%. Not sure if it is ending soon or the 0.5% applies to "New customers only".

Anyone else with citibank not getting 1% cashback?
