Shares with freebies

Does anyone know of any shares that come with a freebie, rather like the ones given with eurostar shares many years ago.(Free travel on eurostar for life or something silly like that) l am looking to give a different sort of present for my newphew. Grateful for any pointers

100 shares in Signet gives you unlimited 10% off at ernest jones and h.samuel.

i think also 200 shares in ba give you 10% off FULL fare flights

Hargreaves Lansdown has a guide of which companies which offers such 'shareholder perks'. There is also a shorter list on Sharecrazy.com's website.

You should keep the following in mind:

- You may need to hold a minimum number of shares and/or for a certain period(or on a particular date) before you qualify.
- Some companies give discounts on every single transaction to shareholders. others just a one off or a number of vouchers.
- Some companies offer the discounts to all shareholders, others will only do so to shareholders who hold paper certificates.
- Bear in mind the value of the discount compared to the price of the shares (its normally not worth buying shares just to qualify for the discount!)
