So there's no way of knowing that you're the 11th customer, and thereby don't benefit from the 'offer', until you've paid and completed the transaction? And as Starling's CRN isn't mentioned in the T&Cs, I wonder if a change of name at Companies House would to, say, Pigeon Cycles, would prove a potential workaround if they're really struggling in 7 years (not to mention T&C No. 8 of course)... Great bit of marketing though.

It seems that if you're not one of the first ten then the code won't work. So you'd know you missed out that way.

I imagine that's the point of it. Get people to buy and hopefully generate a few extra sales on the basis that people think they might be getting it for free.

SImilar to flexispot's first 30 purchases after midnight will get refunded.

It’s all about the headline. I think it’s genuinely brilliant. When I worked in the shop we did a free service offer, that as impossible to get, but everybody knew there was about 0.1% chance of getting it.
