Trading 212 Cash ISA - Promo Code?

lunaroudogs

Hi,

Has anyone successfully opened a new Trading 212 account and received the ‘newbie’ bonus, taking the interest to 5.05%?

I tried doing this, and successfully opened an account but this was with 4.9%, it turns out you need to enter a promo code…. Martin Lewis doesn’t specify this code… so has anyone been able to get around this? 

Thanks!

If you opened from the MSE referral link it should be automatically applied (code is "MSE"), no manual code required.

And once again I open it the week before the promo! Same with Tembo and their cashback offer...

I guess it sometimes pays to be un-proactive!

I opened a 212 account using the damien talks money code on his youtube chanel, i got a free rolls royce share worth about £12.

Was that a Cash ISA? I thought his promo code was for a S&S one only

Can newbies open a T212 account (to get the enhanced rate) but have the balance at zero?

I've maxed out my ISA limit this year, but have been eyeing up T212 for some time now, in preparation for April. Would be nice to lock in this 0.15% bonus rate whilst it's available, even if I can't add anything to it yet.

To get the enhanced rate do you need to be totally new to Trading 212, or just to the Cash ISA?  I already have an account, but have only used it for the free share referral. Never had a cash ISA with them.

I would be interested to the answer to this too - can't put any new money in this year, but I have a fixed ISA maturing in 4 weeks time, so will be looking for a new home for it.

my recollection is that with 212, the ISA account has to be funded within 14 days, but I can't find that on the site now.

From what I can see you have to be a new customer to T212 and the cash ISA has to be funded within 10 days, clicking the "see here" link shows a min deposit of £1.

sorry, yes it was for a Stocks and shares account (in my case not in an ISA)

My understanding is that you have 10 days from opening the account to enter a promo code to get the benefits from it. I've seen this online for a couple of codes that give a free share, but if the code for this is "MSE" and you opened the account last week (or if someone has missed using the code, such as the OP) then try entering this code on your account (open app, three lines in the bottom right, then Promo Code is an option there). I can't guarantee this works but worth a try I reckon. I opened my account in December when the rate was 4.9% so I'm a bit miffed it is now 5.05% and I can't get that rate!
