Robinhood Gold Rewards

Frequently asked questions

Who's eligible for the cash reward?

Only direct recipients of the incentive offer who click an eligible rewards link, subscribe to Robinhood Gold in that session, and meet all of the qualifications, are eligible to receive a cash reward. The promotion is not available to the general public.

How do I qualify?

In order to receive your cash reward, you have to sign up for Robinhood Gold ($5/month, first 30 days free for new subscribers) and must remain a Gold subscriber through April 6, 2024. As a Robinhood Gold subscriber, you must make deposits into your non-retirement brokerage account between September 20, 2023 and October 6, 2023 to count towards your reward.

How much can I get?
  • $10 for net deposits of $1000-$4,999
  • $50 for net deposits of $5,000–$14,999
  • $100 for net deposits of $15,000-$49,999
  • $500 for net deposits of $50,000-$99,999
  • $1000 for net deposits of $100k+
How do I calculate my net deposits?

You can calculate your net deposits by adding up all deposits initiated between September 20, 2023 and October 6, 2023 and subtracting all initiated withdrawals or canceled deposits between September 20, 2023 and April 6, 2024.

When will I get my reward?

If you're eligible for a cash reward, it will be delivered to your account by April 13, 2024. We'll notify you by email and push notification when you can claim your cash!

Keep in mind

Your cash reward will expire if it isn’t claimed within 30 days. After you claim it, you can use it to invest right away, but you can't withdraw it from your account for 30 days.

Taxes

The funds you receive through the cash reward promotion will be reported as miscellaneous income in your 1099-MISC form. Because of IRS minimum earnings requirements, you may not receive a 1099-MISC form if your cash reward and any other funds (e.g., stock reward funds) are valued at less than $600.

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