£20 Free from EGG

As I recall, they don't ask for enough details (i.e. address) about the second person to do a credit check - why would they need to, as they're not offering any extra credit, and you'll still be responsible for it?

They do ask for the second card holders address (or they did at least when i applied for one)

I asked Egg where my 20 quid was...

"If you were one of the first 8000 customers to request a secondary cardholder, you'll receive the £20 credit to your account by the 31st October 2004. "

I guess Egg want a lot more than 8000 people to apply for their second card

Just checked - Egg have made a credit of £20 on the 1/10. I was obviously one of the lucky 8000 8)

Many thanks Alared for highlighting.

I don't know whether they perform a credit search on that 2nd person or not, I presume so because they have to verify that they are over 18.

I have never known a CC issuer carry out a credit check on an additional cardholder; this is most likely because the principal cardholder is liable for any debt on the card regardless of which cardholder incurred it.

also got credited here - thanks!  :D

shame I forgot about it though (that I applied a few weeks ago)... just paid off the card recently in full, so now I'm £20 in credit lol..

is there anyway to get this money off the card?

Balance transfer £100 into your account and make a payment of £80 to the Egg card...
