To keep on top of your payments, why not download our app, that way you can set up reminders and make payments on the go.
Here at Argos, we know your finances can flux. There are some times when a little extra cash right now would come in handy.
With the Argos Card you can buy yourself time to pay by borrowing money from us on credit. It's quick and easy to extend your credit limit – just go to Your Argos Card account on your app or online. You don't need any paperwork to hand and once you're accepted the cash will be ready to spend instantly.
Plus, applying to extend your credit won't affect your credit rating at all. You can even set up your account to auto-extend your limit next time your funds need a boost. Don't worry, we'll prompt you to set this up the next time you extend your limit.
Yes, for now, you can continue to use your Argos Card to buy groceries, Tu Clothing, Homewares, Electronics and petrol – basically anything that's stocked in Sainsbury's or Sainsbury's Local stores at the manned tills (or self-service checkout - a colleague will just need to verify your signature), and in Sainsbury's petrol stations (excluding Pay-At-Pump) as usual.
With the Argos Card, only normal credit is available in Sainsbury's.
You can't use your Argos Card to shop online at Sainsburys.co.uk or when using the Sainsbury's app.

From April 2026, when your account is expected to update to Argos Pay, you won't be able to use Argos Pay as a payment method at Sainsbury's (including Sainsbury's Local stores) or Sainsbury's petrol stations. Please refer to the email/letter we are sending you about the changes to your Argos Card Agreement and account which includes a table of changes along with a copy of the updated Agreement (called the Argos Pay Agreement).
If you've been declined for an Argos Card this time round, don't worry, you can try again.
Just give it a month before applying again. That's because we get that your finances can fluctuate – life happens.
In fact, did you know that your credit score is constantly changing? And there are things you can do to make it better. But first, knowledge is power… so why not check your current credit score.

What is PayPal Pay in 3?
PayPal Pay in 3 is an interest-free loan that lets you split your basket into 3 payments, with the first due at time of purchase and subsequent payments due every month on the same date. It's a great way to spread the cost of larger items or to cover emergencies, and is a helpful tool to manage your budget more effectively. Pay in 3 is an unregulated credit agreement, so you will have fewer protections under this agreement than you would under a regulated credit agreement. Carefully consider whether the purchase is affordable and how you will make the repayments. Be aware of the possible impact of using Pay in 3 and of missing payments, including making other borrowing more difficult or more expensive.
The decision process is automated. PayPal assess your financial position using a combination of the information you provided in your application and information about your usage and history with PayPal to decide if PayPal Pay in 3 is suitable for you now.
They may also run a "soft" credit check when you apply if PayPal need more information to be able to make a decision. This search will only be visible to you and will not affect your credit score.
If you apply during check out and are declined for PayPal Pay in 3, you can still use PayPal to check out securely with your debit or credit card.
If you want to re-apply, you will be able to do so 35 days after your last application.
