    When I got one of these vouchers at Christmas, the expiry date was on the receipt that they gave me with the voucher.

    Can you use the voucher to buy a gift card?

    No (point 14 of the T&Cs in my link in post #2)

    Actually item 14 only says the offer excludes the purchase of gift cards using vouchers. It does not say that you cannot buy a gift card using a voucher, just that it won't count towards the £5/£10 offer.

    Yep, I've got it in a chat log.

    If you click on "Help" on the Argos site, you'll find a chat facility to speak to their CS reps.

    Good luck.

    I have a chat log showing they reassured me 100% my order was paid for.

    So I then go to my bank and say they have screwed up.

    Less than a week later an email arrived "sorry we haven't taken payment for your order yet".

    I was not amused!

    I bought something in Argos during the promotional period and got a £10 voucher with a 4 week expiry date.


    I bought something with the voucher but returned it (as it didn't work) and was given a new £10 voucher as part of the refund - that voucher has a 3 year expiry date.

    When I get one, if I don't have anything particular to buy, I buy batteries. Everyone needs batteries!

    I also did this.

  • I have just purchased something worth £54.98 and used my £5 voucher so the total was £49.98. Should I have received another £5 voucher as the initial total was over £50 but I have not received one in my email? (The order was placed online to collect via fast track).

    NO - as per item 24 in the T&Cs http://www.argos.co.uk/events/giftvoucher.html?!!!!!ar:search:companyvoucherwk7
