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 investing accounts at Robinhood. Only Robinhood customers who aren’t currently signed up for Robinhood Gold and were not subscribed to Gold at any time from June 27, 2024 at 12:00 AM PT to August 25, 2024 at 11:59 PM PT are eligible for this limited-time offer.

How do I qualify?

To earn the boosted APY, you have to:

  • Sign up for Robinhood Gold between August 26, 2024 and September 10, 2024
  • Make a single successful deposit of at least $2,000 into your Robinhood non-retirement investing account via ACH or instant bank transfer within seven calendar days of signing up for Robinhood Gold
  • Maintain an active Robinhood Gold subscription

Any uninvested cash in your account will then automatically earn a 0.50% boost on top of the standard Gold APY rate as a special offer for the 60 days.

What will happen after 60 days?

On the 61st day after your qualifying deposit settles, you will receive the standard Gold APY rate. The standard Gold APY rate as of Nov 15, 2024 is 4.25% APY.

The 60 days of boosted rate may not be consecutive, and 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 you’ll complete the remaining days until you reach 60 days total.

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 can 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 a tax professional.
