in Credit cards
Hi guys i just need to check if the egg anniversary offer for 0% for 5 months covers super balance transfers as well. i.e can i pay the amount into a bank account and have the money sat in the egg card at 0% for 5 months?

cheers for the reply, take it that means technically i could transfer my credit limit into a savings account for the 5 months then pay back the credit card and keep the interest?if i had known then what i know now0

Yes again. The common term for that round here is "stoozing".0

Yes - but I think it needs to be done during the anniversary month0

Remember to try and up your credit limit online prior to doing the SBT.0

Hard to make egg out at all to be honest.
Plenty of people on earlier threads have gone from a smallish limit of £4K or so upto £15K in £2K jumps over a fortnight. I suspect that they would have got the lot in one go if they'd tried.
I went from £8K upto £15K in one go although I've had an egg card for over 4 years & used to put all my spend on it when it had 1% cashback.Ethical moneysaver0 -
I think if the cards relatively new i.e. less than 6 months then it would probably wise to up it in small increments.
If youve had it for over 6 months, then it should go straight to 15k fairly easily0 -
I think a relatively low income also inhibits egg rises. I've only been able to do small increases at a time over the past year despite being on a typical graduate salary and having had egg green for 3.5years.Cider Country Solar PV generator: 3.7kWp Enfinity system on unshaded SE (-36deg azimuth) & 45deg roof0

I've just finished by 0% period with Egg. Have an income of £14K, was given £4k to start with, added £2k and finished with another £4k - totalling £10K in 8 months. Just before my anniversary period, I will go for £15K but will have to wait until end of April before trying. Never been with Egg before. So that's what happened to a new comer with a low income.0
