Balance Transfer from Argos Card

Confuddled2019

Hi All,
Wonder if anyone can help/shed some light. Is it anyway possible to do a balance transfer from an Argos Card to a credit card? Apparently the card number I have for Argos is too long and having a persistent debt letter cos of their stupid APR (never again!) I want to transfer to a 0% CC.
Thanks for any advice!

You'll need a money transfer option.

Thanks. How does that work? Is this the only way?

You transfer money from the card to your current account and then pay whoever you want. There's typically a 4% fee.

The other way is to get a 0% purchases card, put all your regular spend on it and use your freed up cash to pay the Aegis card.

If you can't get a money transfer card - that's definitely a decent way to do it. Just be careful to only spend your regular spend - and don't get tempted to spend  a bit more because you have the available credit. Not saying you would - but just keep it in the back of your mind - your aim is to get it all down to zero as quickly as you can manage it.
