In the Hilton group, becuase you receive 40-50% hotel reduction if you're a share holder.

Easiest way is to use the share dealing facilities at your current bank.

How much is each share?........sounds like a good offer to me.
Online might be the way to go.

Probably find that you have to hold x amount of shares before you get any real discounts.

I saw an article somewhere aboutthis yesterdy. Was it MSN? With some companies owning 1 share is enough to get you discounts.

Mind you with hotels in many cases by hunting around on the net, using Teletext you can get stunning deals anyway.

Loads of people do this, mainly in a bid to get the annual report sent to them and to receive any discounts (as mentioned by Chris, it usually fails as their is normally a minimum)

Actual admin costs are pretty large to the company per shareholder (invites to AGM, dividend cheques, cost of a printed interim/annual report circa £10) so do not expect to be liked by any other shareholders etc (not that that will probably bother you)

Cheers

How are other shareholders going to find out? You don't have to publicly disclose holdings of (IIRC) 5%

Quite right mate

What I really meant was .... that the company employees or the registrars would scowl at you (I just remember in my old job, looking at the list of shareholders and saying "look at that rich sod" .....or "there's another mean get just after his annual report")

Not important in the slightest and if you think you can get a bargain out of it Rik, then go for it
