Egg Anniversary - multiple balance transfers

On April 1st I took advantage of egg anniversary offer and balance transferred 10,000 to my current account, which will then of course find it's way to my savings account.
I've now also been accepted for an 18 month Capital One CC in which I requested 5000 to be BT'd to my egg card. Once this happens, will I be able to do another 5000 BT from my Egg card or am I only allowed 1 BT?
I realise this has to be done before the month is up, but can I do multiple transfers within this anniversary month?
thanks.

    Yes you can. I transferred various balances to my Egg card during the anniversary month, not necessarily on the same day.

    Hope this helps.

    Great, hopefully Capital One won't take too long to do the initial BT.

    Trippy - did you transfer in, then out, then in again from somewhere else, or just lots in and leave it there?
    If it was easy, everyone would do it!

    I've got a follow up question to my original post. I've now BT'd the 5000 that came from the new Capital One to put my egg back to a 10,000 pound balance for the 5 month anniversary period.

    Capital One have now confirmed my credit limit at 11,000. That's great, but I wish they had told me sooner. Can I now do another fee free BT from egg to cap one for the remaining credit?

    They may not allow a balance transfer request that exceeds 95% of the available limit.

    BUt if its within the anniversayr month should still be okay with egg to do the transfers.
