How does it work?

Listen up. Here's what you need to know...

How do I avoid paying interest?

So, the good news is...if you pay the balance in full, within your credit plan period, or pay before your statement due date on a normal credit plan, you won't pay any interest.

For a Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) plan, if you pay after the BNPL plan period, you’ll be charged interest on any balance remaining at the end of the plan. This interest will be backdated to the date of purchase, known as deferred interest.

You should always try and pay back as much as you can as quickly as you can to reduce the amount of interest you’ll be charged.

When will I know if I’ve been accepted for the Argos Card?

Our handy online application lets you see instantly if you’ll be accepted before continuing with a full Argos Card application. This doesn't affect your credit rating so you can check risk-free. Phew.

If you choose to continue and submit your application, a record will be added to your credit file.

What's normal credit?

Normal credit works in the same way as a standard credit card. If you clear your balance before your next statement date, you'll incur no interest. Your monthly statement will show how much you owe and the date you need to pay it by.


Buy Now Pay Later credit plans aren't available on purchases under £99, so normal credit will be your only Argos Card payment option in this instance.
