    A 5 minute wait on hold on the phone (surprisingly short under the circumstances!) and they've resent my activation email. No idea whether I'm on for 12 months, but it ends 28 Feb, which gives me almost 2 anyway...

    I tried for 25 minutes on a pc and it said page cannot b displayed tried again at 3.40 and got one but whether its for 12 months who knows. I'd rather we all applied over a couple of days and then it's drawn.

    Hubby got a months membership and so did I although since I got mine at 15:20 perhaps I have got a one year membership (wishful thinking :eek:). Anyway do all cards expire at the end of February?

    :beer: MSE :money:

    I do hope that you realise that it is standard practise to just use 1 gourmet card at a meal. If both you and your husband receive a card perhaps you can offer one to a charity so that someone else can benefit. ;)

    Aren't they allowed to dine out separately then?

    Couldn't agree more, the way it's done at present is just a recipe for disaster.

    Without a massive hardware and network upgrade, no web site can cope with such a huge spike in demand (known in the trade as a "success failure"), so to deliberately provoke one is just madness. Your poor web-masters must be tearing their hair out when they see one of these has been planned!
  • To all those who succeeded in applying for the free Gourmet card - I wish you luck. I applied in October for the three-month card, also advertised on the Moneysavingexpert website, and received a confirmation email saying that my card was on the way. I'm still waiting - and they don't even bother to respond to my emails.
