Amazonas site bugged

Tried to subscribe to Amazonas via the new banner link.
I get, subscriptions requires:
PLEASE SELECT FROM THE FOLLOWING OFFERS
Click Link to Select Offer
But there are no offers to select from!
I accessed the subscription page via their website (through Google) and got a page that has subscription offers that can be selected.

I can reproduce the problem. I suspect the "tracking code" affects the actual page, and something is not quite right... Either our tracking code is wrong, or the site itself is not configured right. One for Jools, I'm afraid.

Hmm...I just put a test order through the system and it did not kick me back with any errors (and I did use a tracking code from a banner click through).
That said, I think what's happening here guys is you're not clicking on the links under "Please Select"? That link selects your payment number and enters you offer. I didn't build this, but I think you guys are expecting a dropdown menu, or perhaps checkboxes? If that's not it, let me know. If anyone can further elaborate on the error so I can replicate it, again, let me know.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm going to pass this up the chain!

Wait, no, I clearly see this now - it DOES seem to be tied to your specific tracking number (those IDs are simply used to know where subscribers are coming from). Crazy and weird! I'm on it!

So to be clear about the problem:
On the page I found in Google, I get a choice of:
1 year (6 issues) 6 1 $29.00
2 years (12 issues) 12 1 $49.00
3 yrs, 18 issues, BEST DEAL! 18 1 $69.00
(This got with a Q11001)
When I use the click-through here, there is no such choices.

Indeed, you're 110% correct. It seems to start randomly with ID's at 44 and on up (I have to do more testing to see how far the problem extends). Thanks to you both for reporting it, and to Jools for letting me know directly. Will post more the moment I have more.

Meantime, I've removed the tracking code so that the ad link works.

Looks like we're back up and running folks! Jools, you may reactivate the full click-through URL if you like!
