NSI Income Bonds - trying to open

I've been trying to open an account for the last couple of days but the Your Investment box doesn't seem to like any number I input. Every time I get the error message "Sorry, we can only accept up to £99,999.99 by debit card. Please change the amount"  I wish it was cos I was trying to deposit more than the max ;)  but sadly I'm not. 
I've tried with and without the £ sign, comma, etc but still no joy.
Live chat not available and phoning = long wait times. 
Probably something really simple so if anyone can help I'd be very appreciative. Tnx

    It is over £500 that you are trying to deposit?  There's a £500 minimum, so I'm just wondering if the wrong error message is coming up.

    Tnx Ischris85, tbh I didn't think of trying another browser as chrome is usually good for everything. I'll remember that for any future online issues tho :)

    Tnx epm-84, Yes it was over £500.
    All sorted now tnx guys.
