same here I tried a lot of times and just get 'server' busy. occasionally it allows me to enter my card number, but won't load the susequent page, and I get 'server busy' again.

Hurmm...

I got this message:

We're really sorry but you are ineligible for this offer for one of these reasons -

You didn't receive our birthday email directly.
The card number you entered isn't the most recent used ([URL="javascript:registered_card();"]click here[/URL] to find out why).
Your card is on hold.
You have already redeemed this offer (you can only get the points once).

If it is none of these reasons and you are still ineligible, please contact us at [EMAIL="costacoffee@whitbread.com"]costacoffee@whitbread.com[/EMAIL] and we'll investigate further.

Oh well.....

I also tried several times yesterday and got the "server too busy" message then - when I'd finally managed to get to the page (at 1am!) and enter my card no - got the "ineligible" message. E-mailed using the link and - guess what - it bounced!
