I also posted this link on HUKD but was accused of spamming and it was deleted! Please do read the small print with regards to use of data however, allegedly that rang alarm bells with some.

I think the bit about their T&Cs can change at any point after you have signed up and you are responsible for checking them regularly to ensure you always agree with them was the main bit people were concerned about.

They didn't ask for my phone number so I'm not too bothered, although I have an old PAYG number I no longer use that I give for this kind of stuff if necessary. A lot of the stuff we apply for on here involves taking a risk with our details and privacy, I just use a separate webmail address for this kind of stuff. They can send me what they like by email or post, email gets deleted and post recycled.

Having read the privacy policy it seems pretty standard for most freebies.
