egg card and egg money limits

I already have an egg card and was recently accepted for egg money.

Can anyone confirm what the maximum limits are? I've read elsewhere on the forum that 15k is the maximum limit on the egg card.

Does that mean you can have another 15k on egg money (tho not sure why you'd want it)? Or is the total limit (ie card + money) restricted to 15k (my total is just under this).

Be good to hear experiences out there.

Thanks.

    Ive spoken to them about this in the past. The max they allow is 20k. If you already have 15k on your egg card then another 5k is the max they will give you on your egg money card, in my experience anyway.

    Existing Egg card holders might get a slightly higher credit limit on Egg Money, I am not sure. But I am sure that Egg Money give very low credit limits. Mine is £500. But that is all I need as I only use it for stoozing.

    I already have a Egg Credit card with limit of £2000. I applied for and got an egg Money card and the limit is only £1000. They said it goes by my salary and wouldn't up it to my Egg card limit.

    What you can do is have a larger credit limit on one than the other. I had a credit limit of £18,000 with £8,000 on each when they started the egg money card. Then I asked if I could have a £15,000 on the Egg Green card with the rest on the money card and they said fine.
    Nice to save.

    Had 15k on both Egg Green and Egg Blue.
    When Blue changed to Egg Money, they reduced limit on this to 5k (Green still 15k). So does look as though max is now £20k

    Yes that's what I said at the start, I was querying how this affects egg money - ie is there an aggregate limit too etc

    Ok thanks - I know what it's worth asking for now - no point in asking for what they can't give!!
