Earlier quoted context omitted.

There's a very strong hint on the site. If you're a developer you should be able to figure it out easily, if you're not a developer you probably won't know how to "remove the disabled attribute" anyway ;)

All it takes is someone to post a few step by step instructions and anyone could re-enable the button regardless of their skills. Hopefully people won't ruin this offer and do that though.

I'm pleased to see that slickdeals and fatwallet both have threads about this deal, but no one has spoiled the puzzle yet.

Looks like swish is a little bogged down at the moment. My connection attempts are timing out :)

I sure do hope my creditcard isn't hit for every time I resubmit the order form...

edit: nvm, I finally got through, only 1 order confirmation :)

:( USA Only...

It mentions international shipping on the billing page - is it still USA only?

Can't see anywhere for the country to go:

Name, Address, Apt/Suite, City, State/Province/Region, Zip

EDIT: I solved the puzzle ok, but the form which comes up only has the fields above

EDIT2: thanks - I think the problem is the website not loading properly due to congestion so certain page elements weren't visible.

I managed to order, got the email but swish.com/login doesn't load. Also, what are the credentials? Wasn't asked for any password ...

You have to create a new account on that page with the email you used when you bought the deal.

Thanks, managed to do it now.

Create an account with the same email you checked out with.

Worked now finally.
