Managed to get a burial. Although the site did time out after I asked for a new search.

Can anyone confirm where this deal is described officiallly - I'm logged into findmypast.co.uk right now at 7.30pm and it still says it wants to take 10 credits if I look at a 1911 transcript?

Missed last weeks offering but by the sound of it, it was a bit of a shambles.

Didn't realise they changed the offer for this week, logged on just before 7pm and managed to whizz around the site finding various bits and pieces.

Unfortunately has ground to a slow crawl now, no doubt others didn't realise the deal had changed and many more have logged on now.

However, a big THANK YOU to FindMyPast for the opportunity to have free access, regardless of any issues. I may be struggling to access the site now, but the few records I did manage to download are worth the wait. I will make sure I log in during the wee hours next time!

I've still got one left that I would like to do a further search for..

Work it out from the indexes on the 1911online site using the hints, then search the FindMyPast site with the names and ages you have and find a unique one, then you will be ready to download it immediately you get your next freebie.
