Which is the best for this - Egg?
I am the sort of person who pays a minimum off every month then clears them every year with my work bonus - any ideas which card would best suit me for this ?
I am with Barclaycard at the moment & feel their charges are a little steep.

Thanks for any help.

I have an Eggcard and can't fault the service. Love the online bit and they upped my limit by 2k after six months without me asking.

I've been running a rotating credit thingy with various cards over the last couple of years, enjoying ultra low interest as a result.

Another vote for Egg - their on-line services are very good and I've never had any problems with them over the last year or so. Also use Capital One and MBNA, they're pretty good as well.

Abbey national and egg both offer 0% .
I took out a Tesco 1.5% fixed till summer=0.124% per month,just before christmas.Works fine.
Capital One,i've no personal experience but have heard a few bad things,ie late sending out bills etc.
Sunday express money section has a list.

stephen -- at the moment it's probably worth remortgaging (at 1.9% with Northern Rock) and spending the money on premium bonds
