    I looked at the money manager some time back.I'm sure I read that they would start charging you to use it after a while,and of course you would'nt find out until you got your CC bill.

    Is there anything to stop you using the service once you've got the tenner?

    I just pop in now and then.... :)

    I've just checked on this and it says it's free - plus you dont get a bill with egg, it's all on line so you can check anytime to see whether any charges have been put on.

    I don't think Egg has acess to your other account details as all yor security information is downloaded to your own PC/Laptop. Then each account is accessed from this stored data. Unless anybody else knows otherwise.
  • I registered for Egg MM when it came out as it sounded brilliant but after I fully read the T's and C's, it states Egg will monitor how you manage your other accounts.

    Basically what I take from this is, they won't access your account but everytime you log in it will log the balance of your account.

    I think it's a brilliant service, i'd pay £10 a year (maybe more) for this if they wouldn't monitor your account

    But after they give you the tenner can't you simply change your details so that egg can't access your account details?

  • Just cancel the money manager, this is what I did once I had read the T's and C's.
