    Has anyone tried the Christmas movie from Rakuten?  Just wondering if it is strictly limited to a selection of Christmas movies or can be used on anything up to the value of £6.
    I haven't redeemed the coupon yet, but it's limited to a selection of movies.

    Try on the main site. I used to get these codes every month from a bank (Lloyds?) and the link to redeem the code also tried to restrict you to old films but the code would work on the main site. For the very newest films I just had to pay another pound or so on top.

    Yep; not human activity as gone before they even appeared and it’s not a one-step claim as needing to click through either.
  • Even I was unable to get it today.  At what time the reward is released?  Other days when I was logged in at 8:59am it was not live until after 9am.  Today I was logged in and on reward page at 9am and said all gone.  I am not able to find the time in their T&Cs as well.

    It says 9am to come back once gone. I was refreshing instantly and when appeared, all gone so all within a split second so has got to be bots as at the very least for a human the page appears, copy URL then paste in another browser to claim takes longer than a page refresh. Won’t get any better given the higher value rewards that are left (other than the TG Jones Reindeer chocolate I guess).
  • I managed to get an Uber Eats code and logged in at 9.10.

    I got one at 9.25.
  • I'm pleased for those that gone one but also annoyed that they were showing as all gone between 9am and 9:05 and at several other times I checked. 

    Not so much the early bird that gets the perk but the bird that had a lay in gets it :)
