Hi All, I used a link from another user to open my account in order to get a free share- but it doesn’t appear to have tracked, I’ve given it a couple of weeks. I’ll admit I did use the link then downloaded the app- is that correct or should I have downloaded it first? No doubt I’ve perhaps done something wrong- but thought I’d ask before giving up on the idea altogether! Kind Regards ---

Hi there, thanks for the kind welcome 🙂 I can’t find out from the other person as it was a popular YouTuber- therefore I think they only get so many before they don’t receive any more free shares, and just the person using the link gets one- I imagine thousands have used their links! Yep I’ve over £250 on the market, I think I opened with something like £50 so that shouldn’t be a problem. Thanks for the response 👍 ---

Probably best requesting help through the app. Feel free to let us know what you get. I got 3x Under Armour, 1x Royal Dutch Shell, and 1x National Grid. ---

@Michael.P does the free share also work for EU countries or is it only a UK thing? Myself, I don’t have the referral link to send to friends to get a free share in the app. ---

Hi Dan I’m a new UK user looking to setup an account and saw from your posts that you have set one up recently. Would you recommend this platform for ISA investment so far? If so, can you send me a friend invite so we both get the free shares to start with? Thank you Paul ---

Hey Paul, just going to get you a link quickly for you, maybe a bit cheeky of me 🤪 absolutely though, best platform by far, even so called “Freetrade” (aka Feetrade) charges fees for opening an ISA 🤷🏽‍♂️ Hope you enjoy the platform! (You don’t need to use my link, you can wait on Dan if you like :)) Do you want to get a free stock share worth up to ‎£⁠100? Create a Trading 212 Invest account using this link [www.trading212.com/invite/FMA82Gus](http://www.trading212.com/invite/FMA82Gus) and we both get a free share! ---

Hi there, Apologies very late to the party! I’d highly recommended the platform- very easy to use and the pie function is really useful especially for small volume purchases. Unfortunately I’ve no experience with the isa side of things, so unsure of the specifics there, maybe others could help with that 👍 No worries with sharing your link Cavan I was incredibly slow on the uptake here 😆 Good luck with your investments marspd 👍 all the best ---
