Robinhood Gold boosted APY

Who's eligible for the boosted APY?

Only direct recipients of the original promotional offer 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 and joint investing accounts at Robinhood. Only qualified Robinhood customers who aren’t currently signed up for Robinhood Gold are eligible to participate in the offer.

How do I qualify?

In order to earn the 0.5% boosted APY for 60 days, you must sign up for Robinhood Gold ($5 monthly subscription) between October 8, 2024 at 12 AM PT and October 31, 2024 at 11:59 PM PT and maintain Robinhood Gold through the entire 60-day boost period. You must also be enrolled in the brokerage cash sweep program to realize the benefits of this offer. Any uninvested cash in your account will then earn a 0.5% boost on top of the standard Gold APY rate for 60 days after you sign up.

What will happen after 60 days?

After 60 days with the boosted rate, you’ll continue to get our standard Gold APY rate, which is 4.5% as of Sept 19, 2024.

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’ll temporarily receive the standard Gold APY rate until the boost resumes, and then you’ll resume receiving the boosted rate until you’ve received the boosted rate for a total of 60 days. You’ll 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 for the previous tax year. If you have questions about your specific tax situation, consult a tax professional.
