Can't get further than the initial page.
"Applying for Guaranteed Growth Bonds 65+

Oh well, try later.0 -
This is a joke, been trying both phoneline and website for one and three quarter hours, getting nowhere:mad:
Lucky I have the time:)0 -
Another fiasco. As we would expect, this offer is very attractive and especially with the warnings that this is a limited offer, the demand is high.
Web site just not working and phone line jammed.
Reminds me of Olympics tickets.
You'd have thought they would anticipate high traffic this morning.0 -

I wonder how enough people have found out about these today. I signed up for an email alert that hasn't arrived, and somebody else in the office hasn't either!
As a slightly-jealous under 65 year old, (jealous about the rates, not the application process!), good luck to those of you who qualify...0 -
I did receive at alert - at 7:53. Also too young though.0

<slaps forehead>
all these people signing up for email alerts for a product they admit they cannot buy, and then wonder why the IT systems are overloaded.

Even allowing for unanticipated (huh?) demand and failing to prepare for it, the website is a mess.
I have been trying to apply without success. On the rare occasion that I got beyond 'apply' and entered my details, I got a message that JavaScript needed to be enabled. What? I'm pretty sure I have that.
Clicking on the 'help' (ha ha) link to find out about enabling JavaScript produces a Page Not Found. :mad:
The only very minor consolation is that if I can't apply, I'm not yet losing the opportunity as presumably others are having the same problem.
Funny how HMRC let me do self assessment and pay tax, yet NSandI won't let me apply.

I didn't sign up for this particularly - I get all NS&I alerts. They know my DoB but obviously haven't used it to filter things out. Then again I also have PoA for my parents so have an interest on their behalf as well.0

Glad I am not the only one, I know I have Java enabled, yet another Government IT disaster:mad:0
