I noticed that if you sign up to Freetrade using a referral link, you are given a free share up to the value of £200.

Has anyone got any examples of what they were given Shares in and how much you were given?

What did you do, sell? Keep?

    I got a £4.50 share in the iShares S&P 500 Utilities ETF. Keeping hold of it for now, it's up ~16% since I got it.
    I don't think many people get an Apple share :)

    I got a share in a small, obscure US pharmaceutical company. I sold it for £6. It's not a life-changing amount. There are better brokers out there in my opinion.

    I got YouGov - didn't even know they were listed. I've held on to it as it pays a div and has gone up so 😎
