  • Yes I had same problem at 1pm, entered email & postcode, nothing at all happened when I clicked 'get code' tried over & over again, refreshed, tried different browser, gave up in the end.

    Hi aliasojo,

    We were busy. But things should be getting back to normal now.

    can you confirm all 2500 1pm codes were claimed, as no-one received an onscreen code
  • Still didn't work properly at 4pm, same ussue as before. Pretty much a complete waste of time
  • Hi all,

    Sorry to hear about your problems. There is an Important note from Martin on the RedSpottedHanky deal page will hopefully answer your questions.

    This is not the case some people have posted about receiving codes on the page.

    I had the problem at 13:00 but not at 16:00

    keep the faith try again and start clicking before the due time.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
  • Should have made it so only those registered with MSE could apply, and obviously not have made this fact public.
  • I was on at 9.58am and refreshed the page repeatedly. At just after 10am, the screen changed to the e-mail address, but in the time it took me to paste my e-mail address in (to save time rather than typing it), all the codes had gone - it wasn't even 10.01am!

    I'll try again at 8pm but i'm not hopeful. How on earth people get these codes is beyond me.
  • Why can't those who managed to get their e-mail address/postcode in place, but failed to get a code, be "remembered" and go to the front of the queue for the next batch release? Very frustrating having to go through the same rat-race 4 times - I fear a wasted day for myself and many others. If code e-mails take 2 days to arrive how can anyone be sure they've been successful? This fiasco won't help enhance MSE's reputation.
  • Waste of time, tried all 4 occasions for these codes. On the first opportunity I got to enter my details said all codes had gone. No idea how anyone could get a code that quick.
    Waddle you do eh?
  • I tried all 4 times as well. This last time I didn't even get the box to put the email addy in until all the codes were gone. How did that happen? Sitting waiting looking at the bit that said box will appear here at 8pm. It didn't.
