About IG Invest
Commission-free UK stock trading with no platform fee and fee-free trading and interest on cash balances. Trusted by 2M+ investors worldwide.
Scrimpr Pro Tip
Submit your W-8BEN form by 31 October 2026 or you forfeit the shares entirely. Do it soon after opening. The £300 is a Net Investment (purchases less any sales) during July, and you then need an Average Invested Value of £300 from 1 August to 31 October. Market drops don't disqualify you, but selling or withdrawing below £300 does. The shares are US-listed and priced in USD, so their pound value moves with the exchange rate. IG has no platform fee, no trading fee and no inactivity fee.

The Bottom Line
SpaceX shares worth £30-£1,000, weighted heavily to the £30 band (70% chance). The pull is the 1-in-100 shot at £1,000 and rare access to pre-IPO SpaceX stock. £300 minimum, held on average to 31 October, with a W-8BEN by the same date. Shares land in your GIA by 30 November 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
A random allocation of SpaceX shares worth £30 to £1,000. The odds are weighted: 70% chance of £30, 20% of £60, 7% of £100, 2% of £500, and 1% of the top £1,000. Realistically, expect £30.
Credited to your GIA by 30 November 2026, provided you kept an Average Invested Value of £300+ to 31 October 2026 and submitted a valid W-8BEN form.
A US tax form certifying you're a non-US resident, required because SpaceX shares are US-listed. Submit it by 31 October 2026 or IG withholds the shares and your entitlement lapses. It takes a few minutes inside your IG account.
Always to a GIA, whichever account type you opened or invested in. If you opened an ISA or SIPP, you'll need a GIA to receive them.
You need an Average Invested Value of £300+ from 1 August to 31 October 2026. Selling or withdrawing below that lowers your average and can disqualify you. A drop in market value alone won't.
No, transfers from other providers don't count toward the £300. It must be a genuine new investment of fresh funds.
Mostly no. It's for new IG clients using code SPACEXSHARES. Existing clients qualify only if IG has directly invited them.
No platform fee, no share dealing commission, no inactivity fee. You'll pay a 0.7% FX fee on US shares like SpaceX, and the shares are USD-denominated, so their pound value moves with the exchange rate.
You will be directed to IG Invest's website. T&Cs apply. Your capital is at risk.
