Is there a link to the full list of funds available to invest in, website is rubbish keep going round in circles

I think you have to set up an account first before you can see the full list. Should be free of charge.

The website is poor only accepted opening on chrome, would not accept on Opera twice 

The full list of funds is finally available after logging in few clicks, this is going to be frustrating but worth it for the cashback, I will transfer in the new year as no need to pay fees unnecessarily

Probably worth registering in case they pull the offer. (requires just name and email, and don't have to take it up!)

Anyone know if single shares are allowed in the Barclays accounts, or is it just their managed funds?

And if someone has access to Barclay's full list of funds, please can it be pasted on this thread ?

That’s probably asking too much. If you open an account, you will be able to peruse them at leisure. There should be no charge if you aren’t invested

That's the barclays recommended list not the full list of funds, when you go into them there's a few a active and passive funds they recommend, only way to see the full list (from my experience) is to sign up and follow the link via online banking

Barclays Smart Investor is a stockbroker so yes, you can own shares in individual companies and ETFs plus last I checked it offered gilts and some corporate bonds. In the past it was named Barclays Stockbrokers.

I have now had a closer look at the Barclays S&S ISA charges. I had not realised that they charge 0.25% for your first £200k, even if your investment is worth more than £200k. So the max £2,500 bonus does suddenly not look very attractive at all for me. I'll just stick with my boring iWeb/SW account as this is still superb value for money, and I won't have any transfer hassle.

I've participated in their offer in previous years and have been able to transfer out once the bonus is paid as there is no tie-in. So yes the fee has felt high compared to other capped platforms, but I've only paid it for 3-4 months so thus retaining the majority of the cashback. Appreciate there is a time and hassle cost but it's worked out ok so far.
