    I notice the same with the Octopus Energy free Caffè Nero drinks. They are always gone.

    They release the Caffè Nero codes at 5am. I’ve managed to get one without fail, weekly for the past 2 years.

    I checked in around 9.30 and they were still available but as there are no TGJones stores anywhere near me I didn't bother claiming one.

    Interesting that the TG Jones stores I visited today don't stock either line included in today's promos. Unfortunate other chocolate things aren't included.
    If you want me to definitely see your reply, please tag me @forumuser7 Thank you.

    I think I will call it a day now with this promotion. I had to look up who Mitchell and Butler are (a pub chain) so no interest in that. There are only 50 Selfridges vouchers and they'll be gone to bots as soon as the door opens and up on eBay minutes later.

    Used my Sainsbury's voucher yesterday and the rest I'll use up in the new year, even the Greggs ones!

    I wonder if first direct are investigating the bot thing.

    First Direct aren't running this promotion themselves, it's being run by a marketing agency on their behalf. I doubt either of them care about bots or that TGJones stores don't have the chocolate bars in stock.

    Already had the password input and clicked submit when the the clock changed to 9am.  I managed to get two £20 Dining Out gift cards (phone in each hand, one for me and one for wife).

    Website was extremely slow and seemed like it had crashed.  It was taking 30 seconds to update after tapping an option.
