Egg Money Credit Card

littlejaffa

is there a best way to open one of these accounts?
a site that gives cashback/points/goodies for opening an egg card?

I managed to get an £8k limit on mine, but it was a tall order, I was questioned on all my financial habits and I have a high salary and excellent credit rating.

I have one of these and have never had a positive balance. In other words I treat it exactly like a normal credit card, which I pay off in full.

I seem to remember someone here making the point that if you have a positive balance on the card, you end up losing the benefit of the interest-free period. If you take this into account, the credit interest doesn't seem such an attraction.
