Robinhood Gold Boosted APY - Minimum Deposit

Who's eligible for the boosted APY?

Only direct recipients of the original promotional email from Robinhood are eligible for this limited-time offer. The offer is not available to the general public. This offer is only available in non-retirement individual investing accounts at Robinhood.

How do I qualify?

In order to earn the boosted APY, you have to make a single successful deposit of at least $8,000 into your Robinhood non-retirement individual investing account between March 1, 2024 at 12 AM PT and March 31, 2024 at 11:59 PM PT, and have an active Robinhood Gold subscription and be enrolled in the Cash Sweep Program for the duration of the 60 day boost period. Any uninvested cash in your account will then automatically earn a 0.25% boost on top of the standard Gold APY rate as a special offer for 60 days after your qualifying deposit settles.

What will happen after the 60 days of boost is over?

After you have received a total of 60 days of the boosted rate, you will begin receiving the standard Gold APY rate. The standard Gold APY rate as of Nov 15, 2024 is 4.25% APY. Without Gold the APY rate is 0.01%.

The 60 days of boosted rate may not be consecutive, and the boost could be temporarily paused due to market conditions. If your boosted rate is paused, you will temporarily receive the standard Gold APY rate until the boost resumes, and then you will resume receiving the boosted rate until you have received the boosted rate for a total of 60 days. You will then begin receiving the standard Gold APY rate.

Taxes

The funds you receive through this offer will be reported as interest income in your 1099-INT form. Because of IRS minimum earnings requirements, you may not receive a 1099-INT form if your interest payments received during the calendar year are less than $10.

As with all tax forms, you’ll be able to download a consolidated 1099 form (which includes the 1099-INT) starting in mid-February of every year. If you have questions about your specific tax situation, please consult with your tax professional.
