    Wait and see what they do I guess.

    I can't see money sticking around for long - it is impossible to make money on it at those rates and with cashback too.

    I'm guessing citi won't want to upset existing customers though and will hope to use it to kick start their current account and other business in the UK.

    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

    So no more 'mule'?
    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

    Keep what?

    Egg (credit card company) sells to Citigroup (credit card company).
    Question: Which one do I keep ?
    Or, will it be beneficial to keep both ?
    Just throwing out a hypethetical situation.

    Personally, I think you should keep your marbles.

    Decided to get rid off both a while back, had several problems with really poor customer service. These days they're no better than any other card.

    Shame really, they used to be good.
