Well, it just means going forward stoozing (and maybe channeling stoozed funds especially if egg also starts charging for BTs) is no longer free, but will cost.
This'll need us to start doing a cost-benefit analysis to conclude whether it is worth the charge plus logistics (min payment alerts, etc)It's always the grass that suffers, irrespective of whether the elephants are fighting or making love !!!0 -
Goodness, I hope not!!!especially if egg also starts charging for BTs

It's still perfectly possible to stooze without SBTs.
You just have to be rather good at juggling & keeping your stooze balls in the air.
So for example, I will be using my egg anniversary offer to repay a FD 0% deal & will need to find new card(s) in five months time to transfer the egg debt onto.
Time for all real stoozers to stand up & be counted, methinks.
And yes, I am just ranting tonight to get my score upto 100 posts.

Do you think the RBOS card will start charging 2% BT fee like Mint? On their website they haven't mention a charge ???[size=-5]Olympic 2007 challenge Started 9 Jan 2007[strike]Aim Silver 2007.00[/strike] Aim Gold 3007.00 Achieved so far:782[/size]
