The free gift card promotion will be back on for 18th- 29th of this month (october). Just in time for the "early bird" xmas shoppers!

Free £5 voucher when you spend £50 or more
Free £10 voucher when you spend £100 or more

(5 months ago that was a guess!!)

Can you just buy an item for over £100, get a £10 gift voucher, and then take the goods back for a refund?
Is it as simple as that? Why don't people do that over and over until you have£100's of pounds worth of vouchers for xmas!?

Pretty Sure In The Small Print It Will Say That Any Vouchers Must Be Returned If Items Are Returned That Take The Value Under The Required Amount (does That Make Sense). Seem To Remember That Was The Case Last Time

you could take the item back after the promotion is finished without the receipt (as this shows that you have had the gift voucher issued) and then you are issued with gift vouchers to the value of the goods.


I spent a fortune in argos on friday for items for my newly decorated bathroom. I will probably buy the same items when the gift voucher promotion is on and then take them back with the receipt for the goods i got on friday.

You are going to all that time, effort, potential fraud, petrol costs for the sake for TEN POUNDS? I can't quite work out why someone would want to do this. It's not like you spent the ten pounds. I can understand spending an extra quid or two to push you over the threshold if you are buying something anyway but I don't understand why anyone would go to so much trouble for ten pounds. After transporation costs you can't have much change left out of the ten pounds.

If I am spending £500+ on 1 item will I receive £50 of vouchers or just 1 for spending over £100.

You'd just get the one. You could buy £100 of vouchers 5 times, as the T&C only prevent you from paying for them using vouchers. There is nothing that says that you can't buy £100 of vouchers to get a free £10.

do you get these if you shop online as well?

Is this deal definitely on?

I'm getting a new bed from Argos and was just about to order it online but saw this.

Would make it worth the trip to the store! :-)

Theory usually says that it should be returned in this situation, however, I just returned an item I'd bought yesterday (and got a £5 voucher for as it was one of several items I'd picked up) fully expecting them to ask for the voucher back as the return took to total below £50, but they didn't.

The receipt was clearly stamped as 'voucher issued', so whether she didn't notice, or whether they're letting you keep them, I don't know.
