Are there still options on topcashback or quidco for cashback also.
Boring repetitive deal but worth it if youre already buying.

Anyone know if this applies to purchases made with Nectar points?

It will, you can purchase with vouchers or Nectar points and still get the gift card, as long as you meet the 50/100 pound threshold.

Ffs! Bought a printer yesterday, do you think I can get a voucher if I tell them I want to refund it?

Ummmm. So this is a 10% discount then.

23 Mar 16#24
No it's not actually. As you HAVE to spend at least £50 first and can only spend it on a return trip to the store it works out at less than 10%. Example:
1. Spend £50 and get a fiver off your next purchase
2. Return to store and buy another £50 item
3. Use your £5 voucher
Total discount = 5%
Add to that the facts that this minimal discount is purely dependent on a return visit to the store, the voucher comes with a very quick expiry date and you can probably find something cheaper on Amazon by an amount greater than the value of the discount and this "offer" becomes almost worthless.
I guess the heat on this is testament to the power of marketing and the way you word things.

Is there a way to find the cheapest item in Argos? Going to buy something costing 99.99 so need to take it over £100,

They have sim cards for 50p or packs of pens for 99p. That's what I would usually buy (not sure if a sim card could be used but might be worth a try)

It will cost over £100 when you request a 5p carrier bag... You're welcome:D

A carrier bag
HauntingEchoes to milesyboy1
23 Mar 16#34
It's a carrier bag, but those don't count towards the voucher. Cheapest thing you can get in most of them is a chocolate bar. There's some for about 50p.

Just had a look at the t&cs not sure if it says... But can you purchase highstreet gift cards, pay with you own money and still get the Argos free vouchers? I.e. Say I buy £100 Debenhams gift card from Argos, pay on my credit card, do I still get £10 free Argos voucher? But the free voucher can not be used to pay for more vouchers or can be but will not qualify for anothe free one?

Anyone know the best way to contact Argos? I have tried emailing to no avail.
I picked up an order that I had reserved online, but I did it all from the self service machine. I was entitled to a £10 voucher, but the machine didnt know that.
Whats the best way to get the voucher I am entitled to?

Take it back to get a refund no re-purchase. Simplest way without the embarrassment

I will never understand how these Argos deals get so hot. It's not even a 10% off voucher. It's a 10% off voucher on your next spend with quite a quick expiry date and you have to spend £50 first to even get it. It's just not that good is it?

The last time I looked at one of these from Argos they weren't vouchers but you had to sign up with a third party which would then start charging you. If this is the same its cold from me - they wanted my credit card info :-(

Anyone know when they are doing the next 3 for 2 on toys please?

23 Mar 161#26
See what you're saying but not quite right (but can be).
1. Spend £50 and get a fiver off voucher
2. Return to store and buy something for £5 and use voucher.
Total store price for two visits = £55
Total cash spent including voucher = £50
Discount = 0.0909090909090909%

I said "As you HAVE to spend at least £50 first and can only spend it on a return trip to the store it works out at less than 10%" then gave an example to explain. My point was it's not even a 10% discount; it's less.

14) Excludes the purchase of gift cards using free vouchers as a method of payment. .??

I do not think the vouchers are a great deal as it would be a lot better getting £10 your purchase there and then.Just a scam to get people to come back and spend even more

Just realised my discount amount should be 9.09090909090909% in the calculation I made. This is the maximum discount percentile you could obtain whilst utilising the full amount of the discount voucher on the 2nd visit.

Thanks for posting this, I've been checking Argos on and off all week with no luck but I knew there must be some Easter offers soon.
I saw this thread this morning and when I went to buy the item I wanted; it had been reduced in price too.... Yay :smile:

I was just about to write the exact same thing. Seems like a bit of a farce to me. The return visit to shop to buy something you probably don't even want would immediately negate the saving when you factor in fuel, time, parking... Surely?

I made my order online from my armchair.... I got a £10 voucher on my first order, which I put to use 10 minutes later on my 2nd online order, I didn't even break a sweat and I had a cup of tea in hand :laughing:
Like most of the good hotdeals not everyone will want to be using them; but that doesn't make them bad deals.
This particular offer is coinciding with the Easter holidays, and there are some good promotions on at Argos at the moment, so combined with the voucher deal there is potential for nice little savings to be made.
If I had bought my items yesterday I would have paid £43 more than I paid today because I waited for the offers I saved £33 in Easter price reductions and saved £10 with my voucher. I also got another voucher on my 2nd order. I don't have anything in mind to spend this on just yet, but I won't buy something for the sake of it, but its nice to know that if I do need something or if I see a deal on here in the next month I have my £5 voucher ready to spend. :smiley:

Can some of the experts here advise please? If I go instore to order an online home delivery only product (costs over £50 or £100) will I receive a £5/£10 giftcard? If so will the giftcard be usable instore or an online use only giftcard?
I dont like online shopping with cards, I like paying cash in store.
Thanks
