"Santander £100 Amazon voucher without switching" crashing

Anyone tried this "Santander £100 Amazon voucher without switching" as shown on MSE webpage under switching?

I have tried twice now applying for the Everyday account, following the correct link but right at the end when I click submit, I get an error reporting "Page Not Found".

Very annoying......

Anyone else, got the same issue or knows how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance.

    Actually this did work in the end as received emails from VoucherSent and Santander.

    Are you failing on the first blue form, the one that just needs name & email address?

    Switch to another browser, clear all cookies and browsing history and start again from the MSE site.

    No, first blue form was fine. Problem occured after completing the Santander pages it takes you to. Anyway, it seemed to work, as received emails from VoucheSent and Santander.

    Yes, I got exactly the same error on the Santander site. Did it twice and both times it kicked out a 'page not found' at the end of the application process. But I got no confirmation or rejection of my application. and have seen nothing else since.

    And I now apparently have 2 hard searches on my Transunion file. Which I will be complaining to Santander about tomorrow.

    In the end I got two sets of emails for two applications. Weird!
    Did the same for my wife but with this knowledge, didn't attempt a second time. One day later, no emails at all from Santander but she did get an email from VoucherSent.

    Wonder if this'll work if it's your 2nd Sant Everyday account (edit: seems so, got a 2nd everyday account on the same logon no problem)

    I gave up in the end. Managed to get the account open just with the £20 TCB and will quickly use it as a switch out for the TSB bonus (via Quidco for another £30). Was very lukewarm on doing all those debit card transactions for the voucher anyway...

    Working fine if your application for a 2nd Everyday gets accepted, which it should. The price you pay is a hard search, which should not bother you unless you have an imminent need for a large credit application. Even then it’s unlikely to matter much.

    You won’t get more than one voucher per offer though, see the T&Cs.

    You can have up to 4,Everydays PLUS 1 sole and 1 joint Edge PLUS 1 Edge Explorer. You only get one voucher per offer though
