Any guys here know much about the banking system (ignorant student here).

Basically i expected cfw to not contact me at all any more and today i bought a touchpad from argos for £89. I had £173.06 on my card this morning but now my bank is showing £0. So i'm guessing my bank has taken the £89 from argos and tried to take another £89 for cfw. However this means that my card was £5 short when cfw tried to charge my card, what do i do?

My friend has now bank transfered me an extra £10 to my account. Should i call my bank to tell them to add extra to cfws attempt to take cash or should i phone cfw and tell them the situation?

thanks!

Can you give some more details on this? did you just give them the reservation number?

Yes. I went in to the self service thingy, and enters my reservation number and obviously it wasn't going to work and it didn't. I then went to the customer service desk and enquired about my reservation, which were for 2 but their policy states one per customer.
 
Its quite gutting seeing people who have managed to get more than one.

Why is it gutting? The people getting them from Argos (including myself) said exactly what we were doing and recommended others did the same while they were still readily available full price.

You can lead a horse to water and all that...

So ia m guessing when they checked the system they didn't notice that it had expired?
 
All out of stock online :(

Has anyone had any luck buying the touchstone and case in store at Argos? Both are out of stock for home delivery and can't reserve for in store pickup...

I should have mentioned, I went in store on the off chance they had accessories. A lot of the iPhone cases had the 3 for 2 stickers and when he scanned my 3 HP items the system discounted them in the same way.

There can only have been a few tens of thousands units in the UK. The chances of getting one would be slim.

Rainforest basically sold out in a seconds, perhaps 100 Touchpads?

Big names like beetee/babbs and Mis** clearly only had a few thousand each, if that.
