Share buying

[Julesdis]

I've just bought my shares for the shareholders club. I bought 20 but then noticed that the wording of the official website is ambiguous. 30 Euro fee for 5 to 20 shares and no fee for 20 or more.

As I have exactly 20, will I qualify to join without the 30 Euro fee, or do I need to buy one more?

Also, I spotted that share brokers Hargreaves Landsdowne have a special offer on, open their Vantage share and funds dealing account by 31st January and then any share trade made before the end of February will have a dealing fee of only £1 (rather than £11.95).

I opened an account online last night which was easy and bought the shares today, again straightforward.

They also have an option get your contract note posted to you rather than getting it online, which I assume satisfies Disney's requirement for a hard copy proof of ownership?

20 will be fine to waiver the fee

Thanks. Looking forward to getting my contract note in the post. All this organising is almost as much fun as going!

I faxed the contract note that I printed off my online account. I think when they talk about the "proof of ownership" they mean they don't accept a bank transaction. I've got my e-mail confirmation of membership, patiently waiting for my card (hoping it arrives before I leave!)
