Wages paid into Egg Money and DD's taken out

Wages paid into Egg Money and DD's taken out, possible?

Is this possible? I want one card that does everything, can paid wages into and have direct debits out, credit card, purchase protection, worldwide acceptance etc... The closest I've found is a Visa debit card with an arranged overdraft but isn't exactly the same.

You forgot to mention free travel insurance, free extended warranty, price match guarantee, highest cashback and in-credit interest rate, lowest in-debit rate, Standing Orders, cheque book, no currency exchange charges and £*** joining incentive ...:D

I don't believe that Egg Money acts as a regular current account, I don't think you can set up direct debits and standing orders etc with Egg Money.

That's all included with Egg Money?

One thing I noticed briefly was free cash withdrawls (with no mention of +/-), does that mean no 1.5% charge? Or is this a sneaky addition

I was joking . What I wanted to say was that unfortunately it is impossible (at least now) to have 'all in one'.
Best cashback - Amex + Conran/Morgan Stanley;
Free currency transactions and extended warranty - Nationwide;
Free travel insurance - A&L Premium current accounts;
Free 0% on purchases for N months - ...
Free 0% on BTs for M months - ...

If you're in credit, you're withdrawing your own money. Why would they charge you for that?

If I load my Natwest CC or Nationwide CC I'd still be charge 1.5% for a withdrawl.

In another thread it appears there no charge for cash withdrawls weather in credit or debit, a first!!!

Just applied, painless, I got the 6.9% rate however since I had an Egg card when I was a student and closed about 2 years ago, I got the same poo credit limit of a few hundred quid, they say they will reconsider though once the card arrives.

THe halifax debit card pays cashback doesn't it - maybe that is the account you are looking for?
