    argos wont allow any company for some reason, you would be best with a card that allows 0% cheques
  • You need a credit card which allows a balance transfer to your current account. You can then clear the Argos card from the current account and make repayments to the new credit card. http://www.stoozing.com/sbt.php This list may be a bit out of date, but should give you an idea of the options.
  • Argos is a store card, hence why they dont accept balance transfers.

    Unfortunately we are not taking new credit card applications at present.
  • can i be rude and ask how much you have on your argos card and how long you've had it? reason i ask is i have £300 on mine and awaiting first statement...and dont want one that big!

    I thought this, and the argos website says this. But, i was in an argos store the other day and they had a stand out advertising the card with plenty of application forms in it. Maybe its an instore exclusive now.
