How the Freetrade referral program works
Freetrade gives a free share to both sides once the friend funds an account with at least 50 pounds within 30 days. The condition that follows is the unusual part: both parties must keep the account funded at a net minimum of 50 pounds for six months after qualifying.
Freetrade runs a program but does not publish the amount
That is a finding, not a gap. The mechanic below is published; the value is not, and any specific figure circulating for this brand comes from third-party sites rather than the company.
What makes this program different
A six-month funded-balance requirement on both sides. The reward is not settled by a purchase or a signup but by money staying in the account half a year later, and it binds the referrer as well as the friend. An advocate who withdraws their own balance loses a share they had already earned.
Why it works
Six months of held balance is a far better proxy for a real customer than a funded signup, which can be reversed the same week.
Binding the referrer to the same condition stops an advocate farming shares from accounts they fund and drain.
A share is on-brand for a broker and puts the reward inside the product the account exists to use.
Requiring GBP 50 rather than a token deposit sets the bar at an amount somebody has to mean.
What to copy
- Settle on a balance held over time where your product's value depends on the customer staying funded.
- Apply the retention condition to the advocate too, not only the person referred.
- Say plainly that the reward is pending rather than earned, so nobody counts it before it exists.
- Freetrade does not state the share's value on this page. Values appear only in dated campaign terms, so any figure quoted elsewhere describes one campaign rather than the standing programme. This page also does not publish a cap on referrals; the campaign terms do. Whether a share already awarded is clawed back if the balance drops inside the six months is not addressed here.
Freetrade referrals, answered
How long do you have to stay funded for a Freetrade referral?
Six months. Both the sender and the recipient must keep the account funded with a net minimum of 50 pounds for six months after qualifying, which is the longest hold condition in this library.
What does the friend have to do?
Open an account and fund it with at least 50 pounds within their first 30 days, using the referrer's link. The free share then shows as pending for both sides.
How much is the Freetrade free share worth?
This page does not say. Freetrade publishes share values only in the dated terms of whichever campaign is running, so the standing programme carries no fixed figure.
