    Ask around maybe a family member or friend may buy the Argos vouchers off you, they may see it as i way of saving for next christmas.

    it was £99.99 half price and reasonable time for any tablet should be more than 22 days. and a tablet costing £199.99 should definitely last longer than 22days!! of course i wouldn't expect a £99 tablet to be of the same quality as a £500, but anyone would expect any tablet to last more than 22 days wouldn't they?? in fact i bought really cheap 7" tablets last year £39 and they lasted gave one to my young neice when replaced them with the new ones and one got stood on so broken screen but still switches on!

    i am on a low income (working though), bringing up three grandchildren and it was an ideal way to save for expense of christmas. but will now put money away each month and use cash, hindsight is a marvellous thing haha. :)

    These vouchers are not a money saving option and should be avoided.
    Not only are do they not pay any interest, there are only so many retailers who actually accept them.
    Better option is to open a savings account at a Bank or Building Society.
