Transfers to bank a/c

Options
In the good old days I used to transfer balances to my bank account via my Egg card, but the last time I tried I was interrogated and got the impression I would have trouble trying it again.

Does anyone have recent experience with their Barclaycard/Egg card?

Are there any other cards that permit transfers to a bank a/c. (It doesn't matter if they don't have a bt offer themselves.)
However hard up you are, never accept loans from your friends. Just gifts

    RBSG, including NatWest, RBS, and Tesco offer money transfers. Although fee-free, they do carry interest (generally) at your purchase rate. A swift BT onwards will minimise the interest charged. Note that you'll be limited to your 'advance limit', which is generally around 50% of your credit limit.

    M&S, and Tesco I believe, also offer Sterling travelellers cheques for a 1% fee. Terms and conditions apply.

    Many card providers may transfer positive balances to current accounts free of charge. A couple of hundred may be OK, but several £K (as we used to do with Egg) may raise some eyebrows!
