Fee query for share trades @ £5

[phil3]

I have just bought some shares, and expected the trade fee to be £5, as i had also placed some spread bets earlier in the week, however the fee was £8. Why is this, what are the rules for the £5 fee?

Thanks  - to confirm as quoted on the page: "If you have an active CFD or spread betting account that is accessible under the same login as your share dealing account, you’ll automatically qualify for our lowest commission rate if you’ve placed at least one spread bet or CFD trade in the previous calendar month. If you do not have a CFD or spread betting account with IG, your commissions will be determined based on your share-dealing activity (UK stocks only). Place 10+ trades in the previous month to qualify for a £5 commission rate. See our full list of share dealing charges and fees."
