IIRC, when BA used to offer the shareholders discount, you had to hold them to get the discount otherwise it was some convoluted process to get some number from the broker and then submit that to BA Shareholder services to get you code for a discount. I think. It's been a while since it all existed.
Speaking of which, I bough my shares via Abbey National's Sharedealing service, which is no more and I don't believe Santander offer anything similar. If I want to sell do I just go to another broker and give them my shareholders reference if I want to sell? Not that I do want to sell them. They are currently worth three times what I paid for them a looooong time ago. Just need to know for future reference.
