How much does a new customer have to top up? Some friends are interested in moving to Freetrade but would be only interested in the ISA. I only have an ISA (my GIA has no funds and I never traded with it).
Also: what if a new customer already paid into his/her existing ISA. Can s/he simply top up on the GIA and again: what value does it need to be?
I was just chatting to a friend online about investing and Freetrade.
I mentioned the free share for both of us if I refer them and they got excited!
I mentioned this offer and they got very excited!!
Then they popped up in chat a few mins later to let me know that they’d just signed up for an account… I’d not even sent them my referral link. Ughhhh. I let them know that they’d just missed out on everything above and now they’re not excited anymore and I’m questioning the kind of people I associate with!
Well I’d certainly describe him as the male version of a chicken…
I did a Freetrade live chat and got a reply within 5 mins (I am a Plus subscriber). They said they’d look into it for me if my male chicken friend drops them an email - so fingers crossed! I wasn’t expecting that so it was a great surprise.
Sorry!! I’ve been here long enough, I should know by now to get that and update the “how many users” thread.
Their number is just over 74,000. They’re telling me that they’re sure they signed up, rather than just signed in to an old account that they forgot about.
Edit: I bloody knew it. FT aren’t recycling old user numbers (as if they would), the male chicken friend has had an account for 2 years but forgot.
I’m feeling really sorry for the poor Freetrade staff member who’s probably hyperventilating after accidentally sending that message to everyone. Whoever you are, relax my dude - mistakes happen and no one’s died.
