    Eggsactly

    You are right pisces, they've screwed this up. For the record, Egg was always allowed to operate independently of Prudential (even though it owned 80% of its shares), then Prudential bought the rest and decided to integrate it into its own portfolio. Then it fell into problems and the ever increasing 'urge' to outsource/offshore, culminating in the complete transfer of its IT/call centres to Capita late last year. At the same time, again to 'add value' to the shareholders (increase dividends), they sold the credit card to Citigroup. Seems like Prudential has lost the plot completely, shame about that as it was a very well-known company and a good insurance provider.

            Shame, might come in handy when they've offshored all our IT work. They can't offshore bus driving!

              Not exactly, but there are quite a lot of Polish bus drivers these days.

                Explains the number of times I have to swerve because a bus is on the wrong side of the road.

                The passengers don't like having to disembark into the middle of the road either.

                  I've never seen a bus driver using sat nav either...

                    Missed payment

                    I missed a payment to my Egg card once.

                    All my fault, just a mix up with my direct debit details. I paid a £25 charge and I think this is the one and only thing keeping me alive with Egg. For years I've paid off ~ £1K a month without a penny of interest.

                    Anyway I stopped using Egg recently and switched to Barclaycard Platinum with cashback. I reckon I'll make £300 from cashback this year
