Egg upping credit limit online

hoyin

Jus tgot my egg card.

I read before, but canot find the thread online anymore, that you can up your credit limit online.

Can someone tell me where? I cannot find a link on the egg website anywhere that seems to link to this feature.

Thanks

if you service your egg card via egg.com and have registered there should be an option within your credit card account screen

I think Egg have a message saying they won't increase the credit limit within three months of opening the account. If you go ahead let us know how you get on.

This is in the terms and conditions.

I tried upping my partners limit from £10K to £12K but declined as card account has only just been opened.

I've just tried to up my credit limit by an extra £2k amd got rejected. Egg told me they review my credit limit every 6 mths anyways but I just can't wait. Maybe I give it another go two months down the line.

Slow down folks! If Egg have chosen to give you an initial limit of say £xK, unless your circumstances have radically altered between the time you applied for the card and when you received it, my intuition tells me that £xK is, from their perspective, a reasonable figure for your situation at the present time. They have made a decision and are unlikely to change it 10 days later.

Although interestingly I did this with a new Virgin card and managed to request a £5k increase from a very helpful call centre person. I guess you can always ask!

I managed to increase my credit limit on line although hubby was declined. I want to increase so I can do a larger BT to stick in savings on anniversary offer. We will have to try with hubbies account later on, his anniversary offer isn't until April.:cool:

I managed to get my limit doubled by writing to:

Credit Approvals
Egg
Pride Park
Riverside Road
Derby
DE99 3GG

with a covering letter, enclosing 3 months bank statements showing salary, plus statements of assets, showing isas etc.

I also enclosed a statement from mint and said I was about to close this account and wanted to transfer the balance and would they match the limit.
