    There is some confusion as I believed the date of dispatch was now 31st October as per message during the transaction.

    Also mentioned on hotukdeals (see below)

    Free ticket offer now closed
    Unfortunately due to heavy demand the allocated limit of complimentary tickets has been reached.

    You can still register for regular updates and offers by creating an account here.

    Thank you for your interest and those successful will receive their tickets via post week commencing 31 October.

    Arrived this morning (x5 as promised) They are like visitors parking permits if you know what I mean.

    Also, I'm glad they didn't come pre-printed with the stations I entered on the form as the FCC service from Redhill is virtually non-existent.

    Thanks for letting us know.

    I'm due to travel on the Thameslink route this weekend anyway, so hopefully the free tickets will come before then!

    Mine also arrived today :T. Can be used for anyone (not just the claiment) including children on any FCC route, any day, any time including peak times. :T:T

    They are 'scratchcards' , valid for 2010 & 2011, so I assume identical to the ones given away with annual season tickets as described in earlier posts.

    I bet a few end up on Ebay :naughty:
  • Wooo!!! Got mine too. Will come in very handy when I visit my mum.
  • Got mine too, now I just need to try and figure out which stations I can use them to! :)
