If you have a Facebook (link to offer page) account and 'like' redspottedhanky.com you can claim a ^5 voucher toward the purchase of train tickets. You will need to register an account with redspottedhanky.com.

Terms and Conditions:

Terms and conditions
- Only one entry per person and email address allowed.
- You must sign up for an account at http://www.redspottedhanky.com to have your voucher applied.
- Please allow 72 hours for voucher to be applied
- Email addresses will be used only to apply points to your redspottedhanky account

Easily cover them, what with them being zero.

Keep up at the back.  Tongue

And before anyone mentions it, there is also a geographical number that gets round RSH's ^1 a minute customer support 09xx number.

I would use them a lot more if I shopped at Tesco, as they accept ClubCard vouchers. But it's Nectar points I'm racking up at the moment. Oh, and me Co-op divi.

Not quite sure what your issue is there, TJ. The link I posted is fine my end using Firefox, whether I'm logged in or logged out of Facebook. Clicking the secure link you posted merely tells me that I've already registered for the offer.

I think it's because the link that bignosemac posted starts http and a lot of people now log on to facebook more securely with addresses starting https... Merely agreeing to switch to the regular connection in this instance, if that is the case.. will take you to the site.. I don't think it's a big issue..

Err.... thanks for that TJ. Most of the explanation of 'Firesheep' from Wikipedia goes way over my head, but I get the gist of it.

Just to clarify, there was no intention on my part when I started this thread, of exposing forum members to potential security risks by using the links I provided. I was merely offering folks an opportunity to save a few bob!

Moot point now, as the offer is now closed.

Therefore, I'm minded to amend the topic title and lock the thread shortly.
