Egg as a Mule Card ! Is it over

I have used egg as a mule card many times- balance transferring money on to the card from other 0% Deals and then transferring the money to my bank account . I was careful to ensure no other spending on the card . Is this still possible for free or will they now charge a BT fee even though I would be transferring a positive balance.

Hope some of my fellow mse friends can clarify !


Thanks

    I got charged once when Iwas unknowingly during a offer period. A quick phonecall not email sorted that out.

    If it is a positive balance just give them a call.
    Nice to save.

    What type of Egg card? Egg money is the now preferred BT card as it positively encourages positive balances by paying 4% interest. If you use the secured message option then it is simple. The old Egg card is hit & miss on whether you get charged or not.

    Egg Visa card as a mule is pretty much over with, but Egg Money (Mastercard) is the best mule card around IMHO. Loads of info here and on the stoozing website.

    No charge from Egg Money IF POSITIVE BALANCE remains after transfer.
