Got an argos card to buy furniture for a new place and later got a credit card to pay the balance. Have a card which has 0% balance and 0% purchases till july. Tried to pay argos but they dont take credit cards, anyone got any ideas.

Does your new 0% credit card give credit card cheques as 0% as well?
Which card have you got? If it's 0% until next July it sounds like it's either Barclaycard or Mint. If it's Mint I think you have an easy solution to your problem.
Post more details, including amounts and other credit cards you hold, and someone will be able to offer more detailed advice.0 -
Not possible with the Argos storecard - see the linked thread in my post #3 above.rjlawson wrote:Balance Transfer from your new card to Argos card?0 -
Are other store-cards like that too? Eg Debenhams?0

Yes - you cannot transfer a balance from a store card to a credit card - they are two completely different products.0

You can transfer balances from storecards to credit cards. It's just that the Argos storecard has a different card number format - from memory, something to do with it not having the standard 16 digits.smiggers wrote:Yes - you cannot transfer a balance from a store card to a credit card - they are two completely different products.0
