Egg 0% for BTs for 8.5 months

Options
As of yesterday (16/12/04) Egg have extended their balance transfer offer to 0% until 1 September 2005. Could be a good time to apply. Purchases are 0% 1 July 2005, but of course you should avoid using the card for these if you want to maximize the use of the 0% BT offer.

Cheers,

DT

    Oh sod it.

    I *just* applied for a new Egg card, haven't even sent back the signed agreement form, but I bet I'm stuck with the 0% deal ending in June :(

    Only on the green card, not blue one yet
  • what's the difference between the green and the blue one?

    also, are there any other changes or is this still an SBT card?

    Same here, my card is expected to come in next week, so guess this X10sion will not be applicable on it. What the heck, will anyway call and check.

  • I've just this minute applied for an Egg card. It did say for 9 months, hope they stick to this!

    They've given me £3500 credit limit.

    I was hoping for more but its more than MBNA gave me

    I am in the same position. I have not yet returned the signed form, so I called to see if they could amend my application to have the 0% period to 1 Sep as opposed to 1 Jun. They said no.

    I then said that I was considering not signing the form and reapplying for the longer 0% period! ;D
    only to be told that I could not re-apply for 3 months!

    I could not see anywhere on the T&C's which said that you could only apply once every 3 months...but they said that the application would be on file and would pick it up.

    Looks like I am stuck with the original deal -does this sound reasonable?

    (...must be sod's law to apply on the day that they change the 0% period!
    No sig!
