Guys, just been looking at this.

It seems that if you go through a step and accidentally miss out filling in one of the fields, it will take you back to the page, and display an error message. However, it seems that this message isn't very easy to spot, which may have caused some of this confusion.

However, it's also likely that their server is struggling to cope with the demand, so keep trying folks, make sure you get your £100!

Thanks for the link. I'm not sure if I managed to get through all the stages or not. I thought I'd got to stage 8 but then clicked 'next' and got through to stage 7a of 8 (?!), which asked me a few questions about my mortgage. Completed that then clicked 'next' and got a page that said 'that's it, we'll contact you in the next four days [etc].' There was another button to click to 'finish' but that took me back to page 1. Has anyone else got to stage 8? What are the questions for stage 8? What is the 'finish' button supposed to take you through to?

From memory, after the message about contacting you in four days, I think it brings you back to their current account page. There are other posts on this site from people who have applied more than 4 days ago and are still waiting a confirmation e-mail. This could be interesting!!!
