    Ah… 91 days, explains why it's not letting me do it today. Oh well, I've waited this long, one more day won't matter…

    Thank you to the OP for this. It was my first attempt at free shares, having missed out on the previous offer. Day 91 for me today, so I was able to transfer the share sale money from my US wallet and after fx fees I am £102.10 up 😊

  • Took my original £200 out some while back and this week cashed in the share. Although pleased with my free cash im even more pleased to be free from eToro as I find their web site very difficult to use. I shan't be returning unless there is another free share offer

    Withdrew my funds just now and closed the account. £100 plus about £7 made on Apple shares. Not enough to keep the account open, and not transparent enough either. Very difficult to find best way to manage it especially regarding fees payable and procedure to withdraw funds and close account. Thanks to those here who helped point the way!

    PS make sure to create/transfer funds to your GBP account before withdrawing to avoid fees if USD account is used.

    Very difficult to operate, IG much better, anyway good opportunity to make a few quid, but I won't use it in the future either

    Rather annoyingly I'm abroad and whatever I do to tweak my primary and travel SIM settings, I can't receive the necessary 2FA SMS to complete my withdrawal. Will just have to be patient for another week…

    I cashed out today as well , nice easy bit of extra cash £100 + £7.71 share profit , but not a fan of the etoro platform

  • Whilst the T&Cs might state that it's worth a shot - worked for both members of my household!

    Someone said earlier that the household wording has been removed now. 4 of us here but we joined on the final day so it's too early to withdraw yet.
