Existing egg standard bt rate

Does anyone know what the standard egg tranfer rate is and whether they charge a fee. I cant see any offers on my account other than the standard purchase rate of 16%.
I need to clear a balance on another card to try for an existing customer deal so just want to transfer to egg for a few days but dont want to get hit with a fee from egg?

    When I look at my Egg Money 'recent transactions' page it shows...

    "interest rate charged: 16.9% standard annual variable rate for Purchases and Transferred Balances"

    Is your's the same? If so that's what you'll pay.

    Unless you've been personally notified otherwise, your BT fee is 3%.

    There's no fee for 'muling', ie using a positive balance, on any Egg cards, but as far as I know all Egg cards (old Egg Money, new Egg Money, and the Egg Card) have a 3% fee for using/creating a negative balance.
