I applied for on Sunday and got a 'yes' within a few hours. I am doing 1000 miles a week at the moment so this will come in quite handy

Hi All,

That does look good, am I missing it or is no online access for any GE Money accounts?

May well apply for this for food, keep egg money for everything else! - I would like online access though!

Cheers

Steve

I have applied for one (the everyday card) and I will let you know how I get on..

Please note everyone that they also have another card, the transformation card that has 0% on balance transfers for a year and 0% on ppurchases for a year

here is the direct link for info but go via Martins link (If it makes a difference I don't know)

How does my cashback work?

For every £100 you spend on food and fuel, we‘ll give you £3 back. We‘ll give you a cheque for the amount you‘ve earned on your everyday spend. This means that if you spend £5000 over the course of a year, we‘ll give you £150 back!

Not sure if that means exact multiples of £100 spending or is just used as an illustration.

EDIT: It would be useful if anyone applying for this new product gave feedback on being accepted/rejected compared to other (better known) cards for comparison. Martin suggests they may be harder to get but only experience will bear out how true this is.

Looking at their website I can not see an account log in page.

I applied on Friday, and on Sunday received a refusal notification. Bit annoying as I don't see myself as having any problems on my credit rating and have been accepeted for other cards, e.g. Nectar Amex and Morgan Stanley Platinum.

This card looks perfect for me. As most of my spending is on food this should beat using a 0% card for normal spending
eg yearly spend ~£1k
stooze interest at 4% net on £500 av balance = £20
cashback on £1000 is £30 tax free

I am just worried about
a) a rejection if they are very choosy. I don't mind not getting it, but it might affect my next application, right?
b) can anyone confirm whether the cards are 'online' for payments and statements?

I cant see any 'login' link on their website so I guess its back to waiting for the bill to hit the mat each month :-/

Applied for one last week and was accepted within 24 hours - now awaiting for the card etc through the post.

not sure how they know what qualifys for food as most supermarkets sell all sorts of stuff these days - still will no doubt will find out when I use it ? :-)
