Egg Money MasterCard

Hi

Just some advice please I have over the past year built up my credit history I currently have a BC with a £3000 credit limit with 0 balance and a Tesco MC with £3000 balance £150 on a 0%.

I am interested in getting a Cashback credit card and getting a little bit back from it. I pay my balances in full every month.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this card and Egg. And importantly how easy are they to get them :) And what kind of Limits do they give

Nikki

    They give limits that are 'subject to status'. If I say I've got a £5K limit on mine (old pre monthly charge one), someone else will say they only got £500...so it won't really be of any help to you?

    That said, it's fair to say that this product does not have (or did not have under it's old guise) a reputation for giving large limits. But then again cashback cards are designed to be repaid in full each month so unless you're spending over £1,500 per month then a £3K limit would suffice?

    You're aware of the £12 per year fee for this card? There are other cards which do not charge a fee such as the Virgin Charity card. It only offers 0.8% cashback but at least it's 'clean', ie no fees.

    More cashback cards here...http://www.stoozing.com/cashback.php

    Thanks

    Yorkshire boy that's great, With Virgin cards do you have to have a immaculate credit history, I think mine is okay .. I also had a look at the CO OP card which looks quite good !!

    Thanks
