I signed up with a referral link to the application, however I opened ISA account. Later on I read that free share won’t appear on this type, so I opened GIA by adding this type onto “new tab”.
Would I still receive a free share and it will appear on my GIA account, despite opening this “internally”?
The free share will always be put into your GIA. They can’t risk adding something to your ISA that might push you over your tax-free limit (considering that they don’t know what you might have deposited into ISAs with other providers).
If you’ve waited the 7 working days it says the share might take to arrive (for me it was only 4 or 5 working days), then contact support. Until then just wait for it. There was no confirmation that my account had been created correctly for the free share until it just turned up.
