They have this awesome offer http://blog.linode.com/2010/12/15/linode-100000-giveaway/ and just when I try to sign up I get a "WHOOPS! Something went wrong!" error and now their sign up form isn't loading at all. Judging by the tweets it's happening to all the people ( http://twitter.com/#!/linode )<p>Did it work for you?
According to the counter, I was one of the first 5 or 6 in. But I got that error screen for a good 10 minutes, then timeouts and nginx error pages. All the while the counter was counting down. Gave up, checked my email, and noticed that I received an invoice. No credit yet, but I suspect I made it.
So it did work finally! After trying for about 10-15 mins I finally got signed up. Got the invoice & activation late but I got the $100 credit! I guess they didn't expect such a mad rush for the linodes. ;)
Did y'all get charged? I'm seeing an invoice for $30.18, then a credit for $100. I did not expect my card to get charged if I was one of the first 1000. I'll have to keep an eye on this.
