British telecommunications group O2 is promoting its Top Up Surprises offer with a television, online, print and outdoor advertising campaign featuring yellow rubber ducks. Every time an 02 Pay & Go customer tops up their mobile they are given a code which allows them to play a game of hook a duck at www.02.co.uk/surprises and have the chance to win anything from free texts to LCD TVs and laptops. (For those who are having trouble entering their code, go to the Surprises site, click on “Play Now” and you’ll find a screen where you can enter a mobile phone number and code. Tick on the image beside the text “I agree to the terms and conditions”. Now click on “Log In”. )
The tag line used across the campaign is “Surprises of all sizes, every time you top up”.
March of the Ducks
The TV advert shows the journey of the campaign’s rubber ducks from the Antarctic to the Amazon and finally to a pond in the UK where they are hooked by a fisherman.

Pedestrians will notice specially fitted bus stops with panels filled with water and ducks that quack as they walk past, thanks to their sonic sensors.
O2 have developed an exclusive tie-up with the social networking site, Bebo, in which members who become friends with ‘O2 Top-up Surprises’ will be able to win ‘luv’ by spotting hidden ducks around the Bebo site.

I won a prize for dinner for 2 but the answer I got was that the internet was broken and I have not been able to contact you. Can you help?
I am trying (unsuccesfully) to obtain a list of the restuarants in the 2 for 1 dining offer, as my wife does not want to eat at the restuarant that I assumed she would like to go to. I have wasted 1 hour going round in circles and returning to a page that is obviously just an advertisment for O2
