Creation credit cards can by paid using credit cards and are treated as normal purchases. I spend on Marriott world card and always pay it off using capital one cashback world mastercard.

I wonder if you can pay off one creation card with another?

One of the reasons that Argos will not accept instructions from you is because they would be incur a handling fee, like a retailer.

Ring the credit card company who are offering the 0% deal.

Ask them if they do 0% Balance Transfers.

If they say Yes, you will be able to instruct them during that phone call to transfer the balance to your Argos Card - have your Argos card ready so that you can give them the card number.

As far as the Argos card is concerned, it will just be an incoming payment, like any other.

Your 0% card will charge you a fee for doing this of between 1 - 4% (ask them for the cost of the transfer before you commit).

Mastercard is a credit card provider, not sure if it used to be switch or not. But all my credit card payments go through on the argos website.
