Robinhood Gold boosted APY

Who's eligible for the boosted APY?

Only direct recipients of the promotional offer from Robinhood Gold, LLC (Robinhood) are eligible for this limited-time offer. The offer isn’t available to the general public. This offer is only available in non-retirement, investing accounts of qualified Robinhood customers who are subscribed to Robinhood Gold.

How do I qualify?

In order to earn the boosted APY, you must be a Robinhood Gold subscriber. As a Robinhood Gold subscriber, you must make a single successful deposit of at least the deposit amount displayed to you in the promotional offer (the Deposit Amount) between September 25, 2024 at 12 AM PT and November 1, 2024 at 11:59 PM PT. 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 60 days.

What will happen after 60 days?

After 60 days, 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 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.

What if I withdraw my deposit from Robinhood before 60 days?

Your eligibility to earn the boosted APY for the full 60 days is contingent on whether your net deposits (deposits minus withdrawals) in your Robinhood non-retirement investing account equal or exceed the Deposit Amount. As long as your net deposits equal or exceed the Deposit Amount for 60 days, you will receive the full boosted APY for each of those days. If your net deposits from your Robinhood non-retirement individual investing account drop below the Deposit Amount, you may no longer receive the boosted APY and your account may receive 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.
