shame its not for the egg money card

A good reason for closing your Egg card as early as possible - since Egg requires at least 12 months before reapplying. Their current offer is also stoozable even allowing for the fee. And £35 helps offset some of the fee of course (I closed my card in March - I should have done so at the end of my last fee-free 0% anniversary, seven months sooner)

Which is what I did last year after bagging the last of the fee-free anniversary offers, so I only have to wait until October before applying again.

Wonder if they'll re-instate the £15K limit? :think:

I suppose you could apply for the Egg card, get the £35, then ring up and ask to be transferred to the Egg Money card. Has anybody here tried that?

Thanks for that. Do you know how long it takes for them to track the transaction via Quidco? Mine hasn't shown up yet.

Sorry, I don't honestly know for the Egg card. I have to admit that I have not applied yet as earlier this month I took out a YBS/Co-operative Cashback card, just before spotting the £35 Egg deal and before the Capital One 4% card offer appeared and I do not want to have too many credit applications in a short space of time.

How long ago did you apply?

Sorry for the late reply! I applied on the 21st of June and it still hasn't tracked. Oh well, I guess this one is not gonna track (I'll post it up if it does eventually track)

These are the stats from the Quidco site re The Egg Card so I wouldn't worry just yet.
