    There's no need to put any account into credit as a stoozing tool. So what if a card has a balance for 2 days when you are getting 6 months interest free? Just time things right and it's easy enough to avoid that problem.

    I fully agree Markymark, but a lot of people don`t follow the t&c or these forums closely enough, they see threads about Egg card flexibility and apply it to others, i`ve seen threads with HFX telling folks they cannot do this.
    The more popular something becomes the more ameteurs you get by default.

    Rant over.
