Default £495 Argos/Homebase Voucher Card

Hi,

I got burgled and have been given some vouchers as part of my settlement. These are in the form of an electronic card with £495 loaded on to it. The card has been activated and is ready to use. You don't need ID or anything and it's simply used like any other voucher over the counter.

I don't want to be tied to just Argos or Homebase so am looking at releasing some cash out of them. I am looking for offers over £410. Can be collected from Nottingham or I can post after funds are cleared.

Cheers

Simon

Nah they don't on this one as I have already used it just to check. The woman took the card, swiped it, job done. No ID or phone call. Gave me a receipt with the balance on and that was it.

Am now happy to accept offers over £370. Would go lower if the transaction was swift and smooth.

I assume you pressed 2 instead of 3 at the beginning?

Oh and an assurance that you will refund if the card is not accepted.
