From now through this Sunday, November 20th, Argyle is celebrating its fifth anniversary by giving its customers a $15 gift card (with no expiration date) for every $100 they spend in one day. There's no limit per customer, so if a customer spends $200, the gift card will double in value.

The gift card offer is good any day this week, so customers can take advantage of the offer more than once.
