Thanks STG but I just tried again and when I click on Claim Free Credits, as instructed, it just takes me to my home page - I am already registered with FindMyPast. I cannot see anywhere to enter the code "TASTER".

It's just thrown me out now as the site is unusually busy. ::) ::)

All I did was click on the link from the first page of this thread, then at the bottom of the first para, it has a link "Claim Free Credits".  It does say that it's an introductory free credit code and if you've already claimed an introductory credit in the past, you won't be able to use this offer.  I guess the fact that I have a sub with FindMyPast but have never had an introductory credit, means I was allowed to claim these credits.  I'm not sure what the other credits are that I've claimed in the past.

Oh well.

Thought I had replied on the topic but can't see one here, so...

FindMyPast replied very quickly and said I'd already used the free credits and could check my search history which I then did. The site, as Treetotal has also mentioned, had changed its format since I'd used it quite some time ago and apparently what I thought were 'free' searches were actually using up my free credits. Much prefer the sort of site that say 'this will cost you X credits, do you wish to continue?'  ???

Oh, well. At least I didn't pay for those 'lost' credits   ::)
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
