If you aren’t satisfied with how we’ve dealt with your complaint, you can pass it on to the Financial Ombudsman Service to look into, via the usual channels.

One thing to note about the Financial Ombudsman though... The Ombudsman offers a free independent service. But before they look at your complaint, they’ll ask you to give us the opportunity to put things right for you. If you’re just generally curious about the Financial Ombudsman and what they do, see their website.

Mostly, yes - you can use your Argos Card to buy groceries, Tu Clothing, Homewares, Electronics – basically anything that’s stocked in Sainsbury's and Sainsbury’s Local stores. You can also use your Argos Card to buy fuel at Sainsbury's petrol stations, excluding Pay At Pump and to purchase any goods at Sainsbury's petrol station convenience stores. With the Argos Card, only normal credit is available in Sainsbury’s. 

However, you can’t use your Argos Card to shop online at Sainsburys.co.uk or when using the Sainsbury's app.

There are also a few places within Sainsbury’s where you can’t use your Argos Card to buy anything:

• Sainsbury’s in-store Travel Bureaux

It’s just a systems thing, sorry!

One more thing to note - Argos Gift Cards/ eGift Cards cannot be spent in Sainsbury’s stores. However, if your local Sainsbury’s has an Argos-branded concession inside it, you can use it there.

If you apply online via a Quick Check Application: we’ll tell you whether you’re likely to be accepted before you actually submit your application. This won’t affect your credit rating at all. Then, if you decide to complete the application, a successful search will be added to your credit history.

The PPI complaints deadline has passed. The FCA set a deadline of 29 August 2019 for PPI complaints and delivered a nationwide communications campaign to raise awareness of this deadline among consumers. If you didn’t make a complaint to us on or before 29 August 2019, you can no longer claim money back for PPI by complaining to us or the Financial Ombudsman Service.
