Whitbread Plc - WTB

A hospitality group that operate hotels and restaurants throughout the UK. Their brands include Premier Inn, Beefeater and Brewer’s Fayre.

I’m trying to buy this stock but it won’t let me. It doesn’t register how many stocks and therefore doesn’t let me click ‘review order’.

Spring budget is already built in I guess.

Did you find out why? I’m getting the same issue.

Do you have enough to bury a whole share? Fractional shares are not available on UK stocks, the market is closed so any orders placed now will not execute until 10:00 tomorrow

Thank you, turns out it was due to not me adding stamp duty on. I wonder why I could not just select the amount of shares I want to buy, rather then me type it the amount I wish to purchase?

Hi all,

Has anyone received dividend payout yet?

Payout date was 1st of June

It’s been a long weekend since June 1st. I’d expect the dividend to land in the next few days.

Hello all. I’ve opened up a position today in Whitbread and I’m already up 1% :).
Does anyone know how to claim the shareholder perks?

Have you hit the fresh hold

I do 66 shares and will be looking to buy more at these prices.

Can Freetrade sort it for us?

Some brokers don’t allow this, not sure if Freetrade actually do

If you type in shareholder perks there will be more info on this forum or

There is a separate page
For Whitbread I think you need 64 shares for a discount card for 10 percent off
I think an email sent to you from free trade confirming your holding may work to show proof, but I’m not sure because I haven’t done this myself
Regards p

Hello Pja3 thanks for your help I’ll ask Freetrade today.

If you download a recent statement and email to the team mentioned here, they will sort you out

You need to contact them again yearly, you can not use out of date cards

Thanks Gez, I’ve emailed Whitbread today here’s hoping they get back to me quickly.

Update they are mailing the card out as we speak.

Hello all looks like we are on a growth spur with this one. I only bought them for the free breakfasts lol (the dividends are a big plus. Any reasons behind this growth or did I just time this one really well?
