Robinhood Gold boosted APY

Who's eligible for the boosted APY rate?

Only direct recipients of the original promotional offer from Robinhood Gold, LLC (Robinhood) are eligible for this offer. The offer is not available to the general public. This offer is only available in non-retirement, individual and joint 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 and receive this offer through your Robinhood app. If you accept the offer in the Robinhood app, your account will then automatically earn a 0.5% APY boost (“Boosted APY Rate”) on top of the standard Gold APY rate as a special offer for the 60 days after you accept the offer.

What will happen after 60 days?

On the 61st day after your account is boosted, 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 will temporarily receive the standard Gold APY rate until the boost resumes, and then you will resume receiving the Boosted APY Rate until you have received the Boosted APY 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.
