I spotted posters at both Bath Spa and Didcot yesterday promoting a FGW (First Great Western) ^5 off deal for the first 200,000 customers by registering at http://www.fgw5pounds.co.uk.

I don't remember seeing these posters before, but when I try the web address I just get redirected to the FGW home page.

Now, of course this offer sounds identical to the one that ran last autumn, so are these just old posters that need to be removed (I don't remember noticing them before but that doesn't mean a lot) or is there another ^5 offer on the way?

just old posters AFAIK ('as far as I know')

There is a new offer.  BUT it appears that if you registered for the last one you can't register again, although the site does not tell you this.  My registration was rejected as used before.

I used the old offer and have just managed to sign up to the new one (using the same email address as last time)
