Argos Card Balance Transfer

Can you balance transfer an Argos card, for example.

The Argos card is one of the most popular store cards. You can currently make a balance transfer from an Argos card to many UK credit cards.

You will need to provide the 16 digit card number of the store card you are transferring the balance from. This 16 digit card number is the long number on the front of the Argos card.

To make the balance transfer you will also need to provide the name of the store card e.g. Argos, for example and the amount of the balance you want to transfer.
