Just paid off my LloydsTSB advance card. Called to canx it and was offered another 6 months at 0% (have already had 12 months at 0%) or 1.9% for a year.. And all with no BT fee

15k is now winging it's way to EGG ... How good is that...

LloydsTSB have also offered me another 0% for 6 Months on their Advance card. My Alliance & Leicester (MBNA) card is up for renewal soon so I am hoping they offer the same.

My anniversary offer expires at end of the month. In the past theyve emailed after ive cleared my baalance me with a 2.9-5.9% bt offer to keep my money.

Just wondering whether anyone can give me a heads up on what egg is offering people?

ill answer my own question : egg just offered me 3.9% until 1st april 06 plus 2% (50 max) via email.... hmmm.. not great but not awful either.

also, i cant believe ive post 293 times... thats definitely wrong.. maybe 50-100 max.

Hi,i've got an egg card which i haven't used sice the 0% rate expired in july.I have a balance which i want to transfer any remainder to egg in jan(my anniversary).How do you go about it, do you just tell them you want to take up the offer, or do they contact you.Also, would it be advisable to use the card now for something, as it's had nothing on it since july. Thanks.

A friend of mine suggested purchasing some premium bonds using my credit card and then transfering the balance on a 0% deal expecting to earn a good return before paying back. This sounds too good to be true - has anyone out there already tried this?

Premium bonds - been discussed on another thread I think. However I hold £2k's worth and have won £100 but thats over 2 years, not great but you always get the chance of a bigger win.

Side note Halifax offered me 4.95% until paid off with a 2% fee - do they not realise there are better deals around??

Have to disagree, for life of balance transfer deals, that is one of the best ones.

You can't buy Premium Bonds with a credit card.
