    only deal argos did have and sometimes do, I bought a 40" tv for £300 full hd
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • No - it seems the smartest thing would be to keep the full amount in the bank and pay off in full before the end, as it says no minimum repayments are required during the 12 months.

    that would earn about £30 in interest at best
    shopping around with £1000 cash would undoubtably get the OP a better deal

    Think in the end I'm just gonna pay with cash with this one;

    would be silly to buy a TV more expensive than that right now - especially since it'll be half that price in a year
    Capital One - 950/1400 :eek:
    Barclay Card - 400/1250 :beer:
    Overdraft - 1500/2100 :mad:
    Personal Debt - 0/2000 :T
    nPower - 900/1115 :A
    Total - 3724/7900 -- 52% paid off!

    If I were you I would just use the cash to make the purchase rather than getting credit that you don't need.
    Good advice
