    If you did spend on your virgin card you will only get 3 months interest free on them and therefore after the 3 months you would start paying interest but your payments would only be going towards the interest free balance transfer.

    It is up to you if you keep the egg card and use it for purchases (but obviously paying interest if you arent clearing the balance in full each month) or alternatively get another interest free card with a longer purchases interest free period and dont do a BT onto it
