    Still trying - DS is still stuck, after entering all his details he gets the error message and I can't get further than the £1.00 screen. Grrrrrr I know it's not worth it but there's something about wasting all day for NOTHING!

    I'm just getting a blank white page now. Time to give up I think.
  • Beat blue Monday with the NUS extra sale!

    Blue Monday is the name given to the Monday of the last full week of January and is statistically the most depressing day of the year.

    We want to help blow away the January blues, and so NUS extra is having a sale! We are giving away 2,012 NUS extra cards at a quid each for 1 day only. With the NUS extra card you can hit the January sales with discounts at the likes of Amazon, ASOS, Apple, JJB, Oasis and many more..

    Our January sale will commence at 9am on 16th January 2012*. Once the sale has started, you will be able to apply online. The 2,012 cards are available on a first come, first served basis - so make sure you don't miss out!

    This is confusing! Surely, given the information in the test, next Monday (23rd) is Blue Monday and therefore has no relevance to this sale??
    You were only killing time and it'll kill you right back
  • Hi guys i just got a card a few minutes ago, so if anyone is thinking they've all gone they haven't.

    They did say that they had increased the number of cards available to buy so keep trying ;)

    I have sporadically tried throughout the day and find to be most successful when i havent been online for a bit, the page seems to respond more. Plus for anyone who has progressed quite along in the process then it all goes blank, dont worry as this happened to me this afternoon around 4ish and tried to reload quite a few times. I went offline cooked dinner, ate came back on line checked a few sites the refreshed the nus pages ( i had a few up) thinking i'd have to start all over but it started up again at the point but it had kept all my details up to the point the site froze ( a good 4hrs earlier) and let me continue to the last page and get my confirmation from worldpay :j

    so keep trying, it has stored your request for a £1 card
    good luck

    You were lucky. I've finally got one after trying for almost 13 hours. They still have some left according to Facebook so if there's anyone out their still looking, give it another go.
