A number of stock trading apps have sprung up over the last few years and competition between them is fierce. In an effort to attract customers Freetrade* and Trading 212* offer free shares when you sign up using a referral link and make a deposit. These free shares can be worth up to £200. You can then make even more money by referring your friends. As long as they sign up using your referral link they’ll receive a free share and you’ll get one too! To find out how to get Freetrade and Trading 212 free shares follow the instructions below:
Trading 212 Free Shares
Free share link: Trading 212 free share link*
Deposit amount: £1
Value of free share: Up to £100
To make sure your free share has tracked I’d recommend using the link above on a desktop laptop or PC. I’ve heard reports of people not receiving their free shares when signing up on mobile devices so to be on the safe side it’s best to do it via desktop. You should see a banner at the top of the page that says, “Your free shares are waiting for you. Lindsay invited you to trade and invest with zero commission.” All you need to do is sign up, deposit £1 into an Invest or ISA account and you should receive your free share within 3 business days. You’ll then be able to refer your friends and earn more free shares!
Freetrade Free Shares
Free share link: Freetrade free share link*
Deposit amount: £50
Value of free share: £10 – £15
Freetrade works in a very similar way and offers a free share worth between £10 and £15 if you sign up using a referral link. The free share link above should bring you to a page that says, “When you sign up, thanks to Lindsay’s link, you’ll get a £10 free share.” Once you’ve confirmed your email address and signed up you can deposit £50. You’ll need to do this within 30 days to qualify for your free share. You’ll also be required to fill out a W-8BEN form to be eligible to receive US shares. Once you’ve completed these steps you should receive your free share within 30 days. You’ll then need to keep your Freetrade account funded with at least £50 for 6 months.
