To be fair my complaint was because I got told I had successfully entered the draw and then someone phoned up and found out that none had gone through. Now personally yes I do think that's unfair as I had wasted time trying to enter. If I had tried to enter and then been told you haven't been successful ce la vie but that isn't what I was told.

And yes I am aware but I am also aware of what the original notice said and at the time that I posted my complaint (which I have been defending on here) what was apparent was that there seemed to be a change of rules and that the people who entered in the first 20 minutes hadn't. Now since then obviously things have changed, although whether those of us who did enter in the beginning have got cards no one knows.

Also I know they wouldn't have updated their structure just for this and I have never suggested that they should. As said it doesn't make any sense. I am just annoyed at the fact that there's a chance that those of us who were actually possibly the first in the que so to speak will end up without one. I am happy for those that recieve won but that doesn't stop me being annoyed at the shambles that this was.

Gismo - your point noted and completely appreciated, please don't feel it was a personal attack on you, hence why some of what I said was not relevant to your post. Your post just caught my eye out of the many people who were getting flustered for many different reasons.

The fact is threads like these run like wildfire - a lot of hearsay and chinese whispers. In my opinion its best to take a step back and wait for the email to drop in your inbox, if it doesn't then so be it. You've done your best and not broken a sweat. I really didn't expect this to be anything less than a shambles, same as the £1 hotel rooms and everything else that is going to receive high demand. I also happen to think there really are more important things to worry about!

No hard feelings I hope, again good luck to all. Breath in, breath out

Hi Oliver

I am indeed a real person!

All of the winners will receive a specific winners e-mail tomorrow – we have struggling to access the database at the moment due to the problems with the servers. We will also create a page on our website with the names of all winners on there. Once this is up I will post on the moneysaving website blog again.

I do apologise for the problems that you have faced in the last hour and hope that you enjoy your membership – be it the 12 month or 1 month membership

Kind Regards

Matt Turner

So im assuming if you got the first message 'you have been entered into the draw' then you have won

I haven't got a screenshot, didn't even think of it, I copied the words into a Word Document after I failed to print the page, but I posted here on 2.03 that I managed to get through, so here's hoping!

Waah! waah! I want it for free! I want it now, I don't want to wait, and I don't want my email address used, and they said it was "first come first served from 2:00" and I took the day off work I WAS HERE FIRST AT 1:50 and now the site's gone down, but when it's working I've put my name in 65 times and my mum's name and my boyfriend's name and my girlfriend's name and my mates' names. What a waste of my precious life. Waaaaaah!

65 times. I genuinely hope u get one for all the effort. Tastelondon are definitely going to have a tough time sorting out duplicate entries

Hi folks,

Sorry to hear there were difficulties experienced when this deal opened, unfortunately it was out of our control.

However, big thanks to Matt for getting onto this and explaining the situation, for you all. Good luck to those who entered!
