Argos Vouchers Now Dated

Crazy_Jamie

So be warned what a RIPOFF

Not really, considering that you were given them and didn't purchase them. Stores that give vouchers like this away as part of a promotion are always going to put expiry dates on them. Because it makes a lot of sense to do so.

I'm just wondering if everyone here who has told the OP they should have read the T&Cs, have actually read the full T&Cs (every last small word) on EVERYTHING they have ever bought or signed up to?

A really simple solution to this would be for Argos employees who hand these vouchers over, to simply say "please note the expiry date". It would go a long way to helping those who don't think to read T&Cs on everything and anything. It's just a little bit of customer service

We do, we say that the card expires on the 14th February/26th May depending on when it was issued. The customer also signs a receipt for the gift card to accept the value, expirey date and terms of use.

The OP is taking it out on Argos because s/he didn't bother to read or remember the card.

yeh we end up learning by our mistakes aye

I've never had vouchers from Argos and to be honest, I would not have thought to see if there was an expiry date, I would have treat them as being the same as when you buy vouchers as presents etc

got a funny feeling that doesn't happen every time, and I'd hope you wouldn't believe it does either :eek:

But you sign the receipt that states expiry date so regardless of SA mentioning it you are advised. Plus the fact its printed on the card.

Yes, I have a similar situation.

I was sent something through the post for free. I was so excited I didn't read the clearly stamped expiry date. When I went to use it 7 years later, I was told that it had expired! Sending me a freebie and expecting me to use it within a period of time? The cheek! I was going to buy some reading glasses that I saw for £10. Needless to say, I'll be taking my business elsewhere!
