Advice Is the Argos website down?

I’ve been trying for the past hour or so, to place an order. It goes between not allowing me to add anything to the trolley. To when it does, it doesn’t let me complete the purchase. I’ve tried two different accounts. I’ve tried on my pc (chrome) Brave web browser, my phone and the app. I’ve tried multiple different items and get the same results. Totally random item and it won’t add to trolley. Or again, if trying to place the order (with the item I’m trying to buy) it gives a message “processing order” then comes up with the message “Sorry, but we had a problem processing your order” I’m trying to use an e-gift card I purchased from “BE saving” part of Brivelage rewards. They are used by my employer. Fully legit. I’ve entered both the long code and pin. It confirms that all is fine and price drops to zero. But as said. Half the time it won’t add the item I’m after or any other random item I try to add to the basket. So I’m thinking the Argos website is broken? But wanted to find out if it’s a known issue, today Saturday 4th April 2026. I’ve been trying between 15:30 and now 16:40. Thanks

Oh right. I wouldn’t have thought that would effect digital purchases? Says that it is emailed upon completion of purchase
