I will leave my deposits in place until I have the vouchers but yes you could withdraw yours now from the easy access accounts

Yes, this is correct. I gave it an extra day just in case, so emptied this account on 1st Feb.

so I’ve now requested to buy some EFT with my £. Now I’ll just wait until July and they should give me £200 👍🏻😊 and 🤞🏻 I might make a small profit on my EFT by then as well. Pretty easy way to get £200 👍🏻

So is an ETF a tracker fund?

No. You might get an ETF that is a tracker, but not all ETFs are tracker funds. And not all trackers are ETFs.

If you're new to this but want to go for this deal, I suggest you look at IG's Money Market Funds - i posted about this a few pages back. I went for HSBC Sterling Liquidity Fund UCITS ETF Acc with the previous offer.

This effectively tracks the UK base rate, and barring a global economic disaster, protects your money.

Perfect. Really appreciate that.

I’ve opened an IG account and funded it with £200 for their offer of doubling the deposit. I clicked through on the promotional banner and the code DEPOSIT200 was already in the appropriate box.
Should I have received some form of confirmation to say that I have qualified for the promotion?

Ig offer is interesting as it doesn't reference a min trade value, could one just deposit £200 and only trade £10 of it?

Does the IG account usually open straight away? I signed up but it says it's processing the application so it doesn't appear to be open yet? It takes me to my account but it does say it's pending rather than me being able to do anything.

I don't know whether this offer is similar, but the very recent one required £200 invested, so as this platform does not do partial shares you'd need a bit over £200 deposited.
