New Egg Account offer

I just opened one of these and now my egg account says it can't retrieve my details.

Ok - it's back again now and I can see my new account and the money deposited by debit card.

What does it mean by "for all customers with the bonus account"?

I'd say existing customers - like me - that opened accounts at 6.05% Fixed - plus new account openings. The blurb in the 'historical rates' window has changed and now says

Until the introductory rate offer ends, accounts opened with new money to Egg from 8 May 2008 receive an introductory offer rate of 6.30% gross pa/AER fixed for the first twelve months from the date the account is opened. (Paid annually). The standard variable rate for the account is currently 4.75% gross pa/AER.

I couldn't find this on their site.

It's under savings accounts.
In fact it's in the banner on the left on www.egg.com

Where does it say it applies to accounts opened from 8th May?

Excellent stuff! Just been and opened it and it's all up and running

That's 3 ES accs I've got now, as I only just opened the 6.05% one the other day :rotfl:

They've timed it perfectly for me to move my stash from LTSB regular saver today too :j :j :j

As this is fixed rate does the account close once you make a withdrawal?

Once the money is in you cant take it back out again. The Egg account seems to be just like a normal instant access account except that it has a fixed rate.
