They are giving away 2000 annual memberships tomorrow (thursday 26th) at noon. They are giving the usual 1 month memberships to those who fail to get an annual one.

But now they are stopping people who applied before from reapplying, unless you change your email or your name slightly or something along those lines. I don't think the name's too important anyway, they never check in the restaurants if thats really who you are.

Just had an email from them:

At 12:00 today our servers went down intermittently, although many of you were able to get onto the site - many weren't. Whilst we are not trying to justify the problems, over 100,000 people attempted to hit the site simultaneously.Whilst we cannot change what has already happened, we are going to do the following:
•Provide the first 2,000 entrants with free memberships to tastelondon for 12 months
•Run a 'lottery' for a FURTHER 2,000 free 12 month memberships
•Provide EVERY OTHER entrant with complimentary 3 MONTH (not 1 month) memberships to tastelondon, which will expire on 1st March 2010.
So please do enter your details before 9.00am tommorow, everyone will win something!
Please enter your details, everyone will either win an Annual membership to tastelondon, or a 3 month membership.
We are sorry again for the inconvenience and hope this goes some way to appeasing you for the inconvenience caused.

I tried to enter but the site just went insane. Entered at about 12.15 though.

Anyway, a 3 month membership is pretty good! :)

Especially as they seem to be doing this offer every few months...

Though this off offer is good. You can also book similar offers for free with toptable. Was gutted when the site crashed but hopefully I will get something, if not I will have to use toptable.

Am a bit shellshocked. Just received an email from TasteLondon telling me I have won an annual card!

Although you weren't in the first 2000 you were entered into a 'lottery style draw' that we decided to run alongside the 'first 2000 comp' - in order to compensate for the web problems we encountered. Your perseverance and patience certainly pa*d off and your name was picked at random from all entrants - well done!

I only entered for a 3 months one....

Hurrah! Well done Beate!

The thing I posted said that there were annual ones for the first 2000, there was a lottery for 2000 annual ones and whoever else entered got a 3 month one! You were obviously in one of the second category!

Yay I won an annual one as well! Apparently I was in the first 2000! Haha that's a bit sad actually...clicking away like mad on this website while at work.

I'm just so pleased I won something :D
