Next Shareholder Discount

[Dave350]

Right, I'm in the process of buying a house and came across the Next Shareholder discount, which means you need 100 shares held on the 1st of April. (£3.8k at current prices). If buying a Sofa/Bed (and a few other small bits), both of which I had already seen in Next Home which I liked, this would save me about £750.

Anyone dealt with this before? When is the latest you can buy and earliest you can sell?

Purchased yesterday.

101 shares for £4365. (Including HL £12 fee + SD of c£20).

Retail had a good day today so the £30 of fee's has been covered off now, just have to hope they hold as this level till next week.

My Boohoo shares (also retail) went up a good £500 today!
