in Credit cards
I recently applied and was accepted for the Lloyds Platinum Credit Card at 0% for 39 months, however I cannot swap my Argos store card debt to it. Anyone managed to do this?

TIA x

    The problem is that Argos cards do not have the standard PAN numbers.
    You may need a money transfer card - transfer money to your current account and pay Argos off with that.
    Is there a cash transfer offer with your card?

    Thankyou for your reply.

    Unfortunately no money transfer available, got a 6 mth 0% on purchases as well as 39 months at 0% on balance transfers.

    When I had a Argos store card I used to make payments with my credit card. I just selected Visa debit and inputted my credit card details in and it always worked.

    You can try if it works. If it does may be you will need long 0% purchase offer.
