Egg promotional offer

Options
There was a thread on here [which I can't find] mentioning that Egg had emailed to offer certain customers 1.9% BTs until 1st June 2005.

I sent a message to Egg about this yesterday, as the details of this offer [as 'footnotes'] were included in their email notification [the one that says: ''Your statement has arrived''] but I have not yet had a reply.

However I noticed they have added a link to a "Double offer page" from the ''My Accounts" page, which now mentions a rate of 3.9% for the same period.

[I expect others will find they now have this offer too - if not not the original 1.9%]

    I sent them a secure message asking if I could do a balance transfer at 1.9%, cos I had found the page on their site and they told me that NO the offer did not apply to me :)

    Milarky.

    Although your link shows me the "double offer" page, I can't find it from the home page of the site. How do you get there.

    It is linked from my particular homepage in a 'box' just to the right of the 'Secure Messages' bit which you will have on your page too. When I click on the box it takes me to the offer. The point is, though, that they [Egg] customise each account differently, so that some people will see an offer and some won't [Just the luck of the draw!]

    I'm hoping I might have more luck than Deemy [above] given they sent me an email about my statement which contained in the footnotes - the 'marketing 'guff' - this '1.9%' offer. [The suggestion is that the offer is made where a person is informed of its existence.] The offer linked to my homepage by Egg is exactly the same but for the higher rate.

    Oh I see. I have an offer of a loan (no thanks). Just have to wait to see if I get an email.

    the offers only show on the accounts of the people who have been selected by egg's marketing department, if you haven't got an offer give them a call. You will have your anniversary offer, ( 0% for up to 5 months) and if you tell them you're thinking of closing your egg card you may get another offer, either balance transfer or balance crystallisation, if you don't get any other offer don't despair as you'll still get your 0% each year and the offers like david78 mentioned get applied each month around the 5th or 6th
  • Welcome to the boards, Yolk.

    My curiosity has got the better of me - you seem to know a lot about Egg and your location is Derby. Egg is based in Derby so do you work for them?

    Well his name is Yolk. So perhaps he does.

    And what exactly is balance crystallization :confused:.

    I would like to know what balance crystallization is too.

    How do you get smilies within the text - mine always appear by the title.
