I finally got an invite after making a purchase at Argos. So I’m in line for the welcome bonus and 30 days free.
My question is about the monthly bonus. It seems those of you on legacy agreements are better off.
So in at least one calendar month I need to make a qualifying purchase from Argos.
That’s unlikely to be useful to me, even the YouChoose gift cards Argos sell aren’t much use to me.
So for those that are CS members and tied to Argos (or any other single retailer) to get monthly bonus, WHAT DO YOU DO?
Do you just bite the bullet and use CS as you would TCB/Quidco and find that the increased cashback you get covers your monthly fee anyway?
Or do you buy gift cards etc?
How do you make it worthwhile?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51867447","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"emmatthew"},"datePublished":"2023-12-30T11:47:20.000Z","text":"Just another tip.
Add your One4all gift card to airtime rewards to get additional cashback from them when purchasing from one of their retailers. Argos or Halfords for example.

First bit of advice for you is to make sure you use a \"normal\" email address that has possibly been used before, elsewhere.

I used to be able to combine the remaining balance of multiple gift cards and swap those for one gift card, but I can't seem to see a way to add another one4all gift card to swap."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51847277","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"djandy_2001"},"datePublished":"2023-12-27T21:28:30.000Z","text":"Order a £1 Sim Card and then don’t collect you will get your bonus you just need to email the order email"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51849959","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"etta191"},"datePublished":"2023-12-28T10:14:54.000Z","text":"I am stuck with Argos too I tend to buy a youchoose gift card online or a Sainsbury’s gift card instore, works despite the home delivery stipulations in the t&c. It cost me nothing as I use a One4all to pay for it that has been bought through them for the 20% discount . Online is better as it tracks an extra 10% cashback, while it’s only 2% that can be claimed on the instore purchase, but I try to keep a low profile with Argos. They blocked me from using One4all as payment about a year ago so had to open a new account with them and I am reliant on that glitch."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51872614","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Zafir"},"datePublished":"2023-12-30T23:06:20.000Z","text":"I joined through Ebay instead.
