  • I think applying for an increase in the first few months will always be a no. Does anyone else know different?
    Yes, me. I have had the card since July and have doubled its limit from 3 - 6 k in the last few days.
    I'm sorry but I'm not Mike!
  • Yes, me. I have had the card since July and have doubled its limit from 3 - 6 k in the last few days.

    So over 3 months looks OK, anyone managed to increase in the first 3 months?
    Next year we'll be millionaires!

    Deemy - How long you been with 'em?

    Several years, went from 6k to 8k to 10k to 12k now 15k
  • Looking at the above few posts looks like I apply for an increase only when I get the card. Thanks everyone.

    Q. If you can do SBTs anytime with Egg, then I suppose I can do a normal BT with another card to Egg & then transfer Egg to bank - effectively making any card a SBT card?
    Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!
  • Absolutely ;D

    Will be putting my £15,000 into my Egg 5.5% account next month when it's my anniversary ;D

    Two questions though:

    - Can I transfer the whole £15,000 or only 95% of it or something like that?

    - Can I transfer direct to my Egg savings account, or do I send the money via my (First Direct) current account?

    TIA

  • got my Egg card with a credit limit of £3000 at end of August...doubled limit to £6000 online last week with immediate effect! ;D
  • Dan

    You can SBT/BT up to your credit limit with Egg ;D

    I don't think it's wise/possible to SBT direct from Egg card to Egg savings - go via First Direct and use your debit card from First Direct to Egg savings :D
