Freetrade investing | Free share worth £10 - 100 for depositing £50

Freetrade is an investment platform.  

Joining with a referral link gets you a free share worth £10 - £100.  

You can then refer friends and family for further free shares.

The share you receive is random, and the amount is too. It's more likely you'll get the lower end though. I got £25 of Pinterest shares. I hope you do as well as I did.


You don't even need to invest. Deposit the £50 into the GIA (general investment account) and leave it there as 'cash'. This is a good technique if you're only doing the offer for the freebie.  


  

  1. Message me for a referral link here BTW you don't get an email notification for DM replies. You need to manually check. I normally respond quickly. 

  2. Complete registration (you'll need your NI number)

  3. Choose your plan (You'll probably want 'Basic')

  4. Fund your account with £50. Just leave it 'as cash' in the GIA account. It's worked out well for me.

  5. Complete the W-8BEN form if it hasn't asked you already. Click on profile, US tax reduction.

  6. The free share should show as pending almost straight away, and the amount will show in your GIA in 7-10 days.

Share amount Probability
£10 - £25 80%
£25.01 - £50 15%
£50.01 - £75 3%
£75.01 - £100 2%

NOTE:

#If you sell the free share, you can only withdraw the cash after 180 calendar days from the date you received them.

Your referer must have at least £50 in the account. I use this account for long term investments so no issue with that.

Zable credit card | £10 for new customers | £20 or £30 per referral

Zable are offering £10 free credit for new customers signing up through a referral link.

No ID was necessary for me but your mileage may vary. As with all banks/credit cards, a hard credit check will be done.


Fair warning:  

The interest rate on this credit card is very high, at 48.9%!  

So make sure you pay off the bill in full and on time so that you don't pay that crazy interest rate.

My advice would be to only use this card if you're sure you can always pay it off. Don't fall into the trap they want you to!


Steps for this offer:

  1. Use a link to get started  

  2. Sign up and choose credit card (not loan)

  3. Make 1 payment using the physical card.

  4. Get £10 credit. Spend it


You can then refer others. It used to be £10 per referral but now it varies by user. It is either £20 or £30.

Investengine | Bonus of £20 - £200 for investing £100 | Up to £400 for a business account

InvestEngine is an investment platform that allows you to invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).  

There's no set up fees, no monthly fees, no withdraw fees, no dealing fees, and no ISA or SIPP fees as long as you chose the DIY portfolio.

Steps to take:

  1. Sign up by clicking this referral link

  2. Choose Investor type 'Individual' or 'business', enter your email address, choose a password

  3. Finish registration (note you need your NI number) and verify your email address when prompted.

  4. Click 'Create ISA', then 'Do it yourself', This is so you don't get fees.

  5. Choose an ETF. Invest £100 and leave it in for 12 months.

  6. Receive a notification in app and an email letting you know the value of the bonus. Click to claim it and the funds will go into your cash account immediately.


They only provide ETF's, which are funds that hold a range of stocks, rather then individual stocks. This is ideal for beginners as it's comparatively safer as you are hedging your bets rather than risking it all on one company (stock).  


You'll get a free bonus between £20-200. Or £100 - 400 if you sign up as a business.

The probability is weighted so it's more likely you'll receive towards the bottom end of the scale.  

Probability of reward value:

Personal Account Business Account Probability
£20 - £24 £100 - £120 75%
£28 - £34 £130 -£160 15%
£42 - £56 £170-£220 5%
£75 - £100 £250 - £320 3%
£150 - £200 £350 -£400 2%


I actually think you don't even need to invest the money, leaving it as 'cash', as I have tested that. However, the terms state you do so it's probably safest to invest it.

Ribbon Rewards | 1% cashback on your rent | £25 welcome bonus

Everyone hates paying rent.  

Ribbon Rewards makes it 1% less painful.  

They pay you cashback every time you pay your rent! Bonkers really - but it works.  

This works with shared ownership too

And they give a £25 welcome bonus


  • You open an account with Ribbon and fill in the details of your landlord or housing association (sort code, account number, name, reference).

  • You transfer money into your new account (it's a bank account with Griffin bank)

  • It gets automatically sent to your landlord, using the same reference, so there's no change from your landlord's perspective. You don't even need to tell them. It's instant and you get confirmation and a receipt.

Each £1 spent on rent = 1 point.  

You can redeem 2,000 points for a £20 Amazon (or loads of other retailers) giftcard


My thoughts:  

  • I was nervous to try this as I didnt want to risk my rent being paid wrong/late.   

  • Signing up was very easy and quick. I did a test payment of £1 and got confirmation and receipt instantly.

  • So I then set up a new standing order to my new account and cancelled my existing one.
