A quick update on today’s Free Share reveal: we were looking forward to revealing your free shares today, but due to an exceptionally high number of Basic Orders our customers put through over the festive season, it’s better to wait at least a day more and not strain the current system with thousands of additional free share orders tonight.
We are planning to reveal your free shares tomorrow though - we will keep you updated to confirm!
As you may know, we are migrating beta users to Invest by Freetrade, our own brokerage platform. This new system will bring performance improvements, and we should not be dealing with this limitation in the future, once we’ll have Invest rolled out to all our customers.
Yes, it went through at 3 PM today. Our Basic Orders will now be executed at 3 PM instead of 4 PM to allow more time for the trades to process before the market closes.
Hi! Yes, they are still available, we send a new link regularly to those who used it before, but if you have noticed that you don’t have it in your app and would like one - just reach out to us via the in-app chat as someone suggested.
Are you considering revisiting this decision? Eg, couldn’t you - subject to my consenting and confirming I still have ISA allowance available - fund my ISA with an amount equal to the cost of buying the free share and then automatically buy it for me?
I just don’t want the administrative/tax hassle of having any investments outside my Freetrade ISA for a single second, so I just ignore the referral feature for now, which seems a shame since I am one of your most enthusiastic customers.
I can’t find a current thread on this and wondered why one had recently been closed @Viktor. I am really interested to know how our community have done with theirs. I had a free Kaz Minerals share which I kept and outstandingly since 9th October I’m up 43.68%.
