Argos card

Hi I'm looking at getting a macbook an d stumbled across the Argos card which offers 6 month buy now pay later 
I applied online got a message saying I was accepted with a credit limit and to tick box to sign credit agreement which I did.
Didn't receive a email confirmation 
Does that mean they still need to credit check me? Or do other checks?
Or have I  been accepted?

    This usually means you've been accepted.

    If you want confirmation of this, I'd suggest calling Argos.

    Was it the actual Argos (Home Retail) card or the Argos credit card by NewDay? 

    I have the store card by Argos and was given immediate limit / spend ability. Think it started at £3k. But if you've been accepted online then yea, your card will follow shortly. 

    They sent me emails - from "Argos Card Services" & "Argos Card".

    And wouldn't you normally receive an email for confirmation 
  • I received an email, well 3 as it happens. This was 18 months back so may be different.
