I emailed them and they fixed the issue. I think what happened is when I downloaded the app, I then just clicked open instead of opening it with the link. Luckily they fixed it and added the shares to my account anyway.
All 3 of my free shares landed today.
£4.64
£5.37
£24.44
So £34.45 in total for the 2 seconds it took to sign up

I’m already a Freetrade customer but still clicked on the link and got the free share. Just checked now and it shows 2 more pending.

Did you have to add any more funds to your account?
Thanks for sharing. I am now queued for a free share as well. Sweeeet

How long did it take to show free share.
Instantly
Hasn’t worked for me. The link in the Plus section of the Monzo app just opened my Freetrade app and that was it. I even topped up with £5 but no sign of a free share.
I had an old Freetrade account that I had registered for but never used. I clicked the Monzo link, completed registration and added some money.
Nothing happened so a week later I popped them an email. They asked for a screenshot showing the offer in my Monzo app and then they applied the offer. I can see three shares “queued” now in Freetrade, just waiting to be completed.

Thanks just contacted them
no idea… I did just to make sure and it worked 
Thanks for sharing too!
Also a Freetrade customer already, but clicked the link and I have a free share queued too.
For those asking about whether you need to top up, I got a splash screen with a list on it of something like:
- Register via link (least sure on this one)
- Open account
- Fund account
- Receive free share
The first three were all ticked off / crossed out, and it said I would get my free share soon.
So it seems to have been happy enough that I had previously topped up.
Will report back if I also get the other two once the first one hits my account.
(Very happy with this after all my complaining about the offer not being open to existing Freetrade customers, so long as I don’t lose my shares when they get round to fixing this apparent glitch…)

Thanks, I remember seeing something like this but as I did it so quickly, I couldn’t remember.
Also after the first share is awarded, it did take a couple of days for the 2 pending to show

Just tried emailing Freetrade myself but they’re now saying that it only applies to new customers 
Oh no! I’d never loaded money on the account before but I opened it years ago. Maybe I somehow ticked a “new …. again” box somehow.
I have to say that I wasn’t particularly confident that it would work but if you don’t ask…
Very true my thoughts exactly.

Has anyone here gotten lucky and got the £200 on a share, or even on all 3 shares
