Anyone ordered iTunes voucher recently?

Tried to order an iTunes voucher but keep getting an error (for all my email addresses): "Sorry, but that email doesn't seem to be valid email or there was an error". 

To test this, go to "http://www.o2vouchers.co.uk/", type in an email address and it will be rejected. Seems to me the web server is broken. Anyone had success?

This has been an issue for at least a month or so now so I wouldn't expect hourly updates on a fix.....
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Yes, @EmilieT , I am also wondering if you have heard anything back? Did you get any promise of "5 working day" as @Chadly did? This particular problem is over two weeks now. I know it is not part of O2 essential service but still a total breakdown of a promised service does not make O2 look good. Do you think we need to escalate the issue to draw attention?  Thanks.

Poor effort from O2 tbh, if they can’t/won’t fix the website they should work out another way of giving customers what they have offered?

I think the problem is that O2 does not give enough attention to the problem, as this is not their "essential" service.

The problem seems to be a simple programming bug: the corrent check should be: allow if the entered email has "@" in it and give error if not. But the current web check is the other way around: give error if the email has "@" and allow if not (although another check later on would reject email without "@"). It should be simple to fix if they actually take a look at it.
