    I got my Playstation collected nearly a week after having it first reserved for the cheaper black friday price

    some sales staff can be very nice ans sound, considering the price went back up to over a 100€ more after the promotion.

    Happy days

    Is €10 the upper limit? Or do you get €20 card for a €200 spend?

    Not unless you do it in 2 separate €100+ transactions.

    For example if you buy a single item for €239.99 you will only get a single €20 gift card but if you buy 2 items (separate transactions) at €119.99 each you will get 2 cards

    Well you should be. That's not how the system works.

    You can't have your cake, return it and expect to keep the cherries?

    WELL ACTUALLY - I just returned the bike .. instead of having to collect it again at cheaper price they refunded the 30 to my CC.


    They never mentioned the gift card (which is not running anymore)


    I then was able to use it to buy other items and used the gift card too



    So Cake and Cherries for me :-)

    You got lucky then. They had every right to make you return the gitfcard.

    Think of it as an extra Christmas present, curiosity of Argos.
    Always find them great to deal with.

    I reserved the x rocker cobra gaming chair on Black Friday, was advertised on there website momentarily for 69.99- was meant to be a saving of 69.99, but after showing screenshot they honored the deal, fair play to them.

    If you need it shipped to you I can help - but unfortunately my knowledge of dpd etc is not great. Where abouts in the country are you? Maybe we could meet half way?
