Paying store credit with a credit card

tstonez

Hello.

My partner has a few store accounts with companies such as Argos and Next. Is it possible to clear the balances on these using a credit card as I would like to take advantage of a balance transfer offer.

Thanks

Tom

I know you can pay next with a credit card , it will count as a purchase though rather than a balance transfer.

you used to be able to with argos, but they have recently changed thier system so they now check if its a debit or credit card

Thank you. I have a card I can use for purchases before transferring so that wouldn't be a problem. Do you know if Very allow you to do the same?

Yes Very except payment via Credit Card.

Not what the op asked but I can confirm that HSBC credit cards do Argos balance transfers. I have just done one today. Most credit cards won't do it.
