Paying Argos with a credit card?

in Credit cards
I've just tried to pay £200 off my argos card using a lower interest credit card. The only mastercard option was mastercard debit so I used that, put in the number and natwest security code and to my suprise - it all went through and was authorised!
Should I expect something telling me that the transaction failed eventually? it would be brilliant if it is processed as it will save me a lot on interest.

If Argos tag it a cash transaction (via the appropriate MCC) the saving might not be as much...plus there may be a circa 3% fee?MrsKrepsly wrote: »it would be brilliant if it is processed as it will save me a lot on interest.0 -
nope myn went through fine, a couple of months agoDon'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.0
