One other bit of information I got from the person on the phone was that. If you attempt to use the code online and it fails the code then becomes invalid this might explain the error some people are getting about a problem witht he offer system. Sky were also trying to blame MSE and not themselves for the problems.

Thanks for the extra bit of info but I dont see how that can be right because that could mean that less than 1000 people could possible not get the offer.

If Sky' system is messed up then that could be invalidating all the genuine codes with nobody getting nada.

Btw I refreshed the MSE page until around 1602 - 1603 thats when the codes were up, I already had the sky page open. So within those seconds of getting the code asap and attempting to use it on Sky, I simply cannot believe that 1000 codes were already used.
Its impossibe

This offer has been an epic fail. I started to refresh the MSE page just before 1600 and got a code straight away.

Immediately the Sky site would not process the code due to an error and you were directed to call Sky.

I did the same as above. When I got through to Sky I was told that the offer had sold out in 7 minutes :eek: and due to traffic volume the MSE website had crashed (it hadn't as I kept refreshing that!). He didn't mention that their own site crashed giving the phone number (so I told him) and I was told to call again tomorrow, or he'd take my number as they might be releasing more codes, I declined his kind offer!

Now I'm not very tecky, but could they process 1000 orders in 7 minutes???

In the weekly newsletter... an offer for 1000 people to to sign up to Sky half price for a year. Codes were released at 4 p.m. All gone now

Hi all

I've just been in touch with Sky who's apologised for the problems they had due to so many people trying to redeem codes. It's said that the page is now back up and running. Please do let me know here if you have any more problems.

Thanks

Like 1000 people could get through to an advisor at Sky within 15 minutes let alone 7!! Sounds like Sky don't have a clue what is going on.

This all seems very unlikely.

I doubt very much that 1,000 deals could be processed in 7 minutes. Plus, I entered my code pretty much immediately - no later than 16:05 - and got the message that the offer checker wasn't working.

If all the deals have been taken up, why, even now, does the Sky website say the offer checker (still) isn't working?

online chat advisor stated this;

I am sorry to inform you the offer is not valid now as the first 1000 customer's have already booked it.

I think we've all got to be patient. A note has now been put that the site went down shortly after the codes were released and that's still the situation. So it's too early to say we've missed out on the deal. Hopefully the problems will be resolved shortly and our codes will be honourred....hopefully!!
