Hello all
We're toying with taking a trip at the end of January and figured that rather than buying AP's this time(as we don't know when we'd next visit, plus the prices are so cheap currently with tickets) we'd join the shareholders club. I was toying with just getting the 20 shares to save the renewal fee. Is that the most cost effective route? or is it cheaper to get the 5 and pay the fee?
Also I went to sign up for the halifax account and they wanted me to deposit £100 upfront. Is that right and was I choosing the right account? I chose the share dealer account that lets you deal in real time. Also is there a better company or alternative one to use for the share purchase?
Also how long has it taken folks to get their shareholder card once they apply? we'd be going the end of January so I figure that'd be fine but thought I'd ask.
Any other pitfals I should watch out for when buying them?
thanks folks
