Robinhood Gold Credit Card disputes

This article describes how to report a dispute for a Robinhood Gold card transaction. For disputes with a Spending cash card transaction, refer to How do I submit a dispute?

Reporting a dispute

If you don’t recognize a transaction for your Robinhood Gold card, review the transaction details to get more information:

  1. In the Robinhood Credit Card app, your transaction history is listed under the Gold Card icon and notifications.
  2. If a transaction isn’t listed in your recent transaction history, select All transactions, scroll to the transaction or use the search bar (magnifying glass).
  3. Select the transaction to view the details.
  4. The transaction details will show you where and when the transaction was completed, how the transaction was completed (in person, using a mobile wallet, or online), and who completed the transaction.
  5. Review these details carefully to confirm it as unrecognizable.

To report a transaction you don’t recognize:

  1. Within the transaction’s details, select Report an issue within your transaction details.
  2. Select I don’t recognize it. You’ll be able to review all available transaction details to confirm that I do not recognize this transaction or Never mind, I recognize this to cancel the report.

Selecting I don’t recognize it allows you to file a dispute and secure your card while our team completes their investigation.

  • You can select multiple transactions to dispute when you reach the screen that offers Edit unrecognized transactions. Make sure to select all unrecognized transactions at this point in your dispute filing.
    • Note that this only locks the card you filed the dispute with, so you can continue using your virtual cards if the disputed transaction was made from your primary card.

Please don’t attempt to request a card replacement until you hear back from our team! Our team will let you know if a replacement is necessary.

Once your dispute is filed, if applicable, you’ll receive a provisional credit for your disputed transaction amount and be updated via email as soon as we have more information to share. If the dispute is resolved in your favor, the credit will become permanent. If it's decided in favor of the merchant, the provisional credit will be reversed. In the meantime, your disputed balance will be removed from your account balance and won’t be included in any upcoming payments. The investigation period can last up to 90 days and if any further action is needed from your end, our team will contact you via email.

Note

You won’t be liable for paying for your disputed transactions while they’re under investigation. If your credit due date passes before your provisional credit is received, any interest fees incurred on the disputed transactions will be reimbursed.

Merchant issues

If there was a billing, fulfillment, or any other similar type of issue with a transaction resulting from an error on the merchant’s end, you’re able to dispute the transaction directly within your app. Situations that fall into this category include (but are not limited to) merchants overcharging for merchandise, merchandise never being received, receiving merchandise that is different from what was initially ordered and not receiving a refund after returning merchandise.

Before filing a dispute, we recommend that you contact the merchant directly first to see if they can resolve the issue without further escalation. Note that if your transaction is still in a Pending status and hasn’t posted to your account yet, you won’t be able to dispute the transaction.

If the transaction has fully posted and you’re unable to resolve the issue with the merchant directly, then you can proceed to dispute the transaction in the app. Follow the steps in Reporting a dispute.

When you select Report an issue, you’ll have the option to select the specific issue with your transaction. This step helps us understand if the underlying cause of your issue is due to potential fraud or something that occurred on the merchant’s end, such as a billing or fulfillment error. How you answer this question will aid in the resolution of your case.

If you have transacted with a merchant in the past or have also willingly given the merchant your card details for payment, you’ll choose from the following dispute reasons:

  • Suspected scam
  • Paid by other means
  • Overcharged
  • Charged multiple times
  • Charged for canceled service
  • Never received product or service
  • Product or service was not as described
  • Product returned but no credit issued

Please be as detailed as possible when describing your case so that our team will be able to clearly understand the situation and proceed with the investigation accordingly. It’s okay if you don’t have all of the information that is requested when you’re reporting your issue and filing your dispute. You’ll still be able to submit your dispute for investigation! If you’re not given the option to skip forward to the next question without first submitting a document, when you’re asked to upload your document, you can use a placeholder (blank screen, any photo, etc.) if you don’t have the requested information to share.

If you’re unsure of how to categorize the issue with your transaction, you can choose the reason that is the closest fit. If you still have questions, you can always contact our Credit Support team for guidance.

FAQ

What if I’m having trouble reporting an issue?

If you can’t open the issue questionnaire after selecting Report an issue from a transaction in the app, check the status of the transaction that you’re trying to dispute. If the transaction is still pending, you can’t complete the issue questionnaire until the transaction shows as completed in your account.

If the transaction shows as completed and you still can’t report the issue, log out of your account and confirm you have the latest version of the app downloaded. Then log back in and try filing your dispute again.

If you’re attempting to report an unrecognized transaction and still having trouble, lock your card and contact our Credit Support team for assistance immediately in the app by selecting Menu (3 bars)→ Help and scrolling to the bottom of the page.

To lock your card, select the image of your Gold Card on the Home tab → Lock CardToggle 'Lock card' on.

Why don't I see the Report an issue option?

If you’re unable to report an issue with a transaction in the app, the transaction may be out of our timeframe to be disputed. Transactions that are more than 60 days old can’t be disputed in the app. If you have an issue with a transaction, report it immediately to avoid any time constrictions. Consult the Your Billing Rights section of your Cardholder Agreement or monthly statement for details about how to dispute a transaction if the option is no longer available in the app. You can find your Cardholder Agreement in the app by selecting Menu (3 bars) → DocumentsCardholder Agreement.

If you’re unable to report an issue in the app on a transaction that is less than 60 days old, try logging out of the app, confirm you have the latest version of the app downloaded, log back in, and try to file your dispute again. If you’re still having trouble, contact our Credit support team for assistance.

Am I responsible for paying for my disputed transaction while it is under investigation?

No, you’re not responsible for paying for a disputed transaction while our investigation is ongoing. When a dispute is opened, the disputed amount is immediately removed from your balance and is removed from interest calculations. If your credit due date passes before your provisional or permanent credit is received, any interest fees incurred on the disputed transactions will be automatically reimbursed.

After a disputed transaction is removed, why hasn’t my available credit been restored?

It’s likely that the provisional credit for your dispute hasn’t reached your account yet. When you file a dispute in the app, we’ll remove the disputed amount from your account balance immediately because you’re not responsible for paying the disputed amount while our investigation is ongoing. If applicable, we also issue a provisional credit for your disputed transaction amount. This provisional credit must be received in order for your available credit to be restored.

It often takes longer for this provisional credit to be applied to your account than it does for your account balance to be updated, which is why you may temporarily see a difference in your account balance and available credit. Rest assured that, if applicable, your provisional credit will be issued and your available credit will be updated promptly.

What can I do if my dispute wasn’t resolved in my favor?

If your dispute is resolved in the merchant’s favor, you’ll receive an email titled Dispute Resolution Notice which contains all relevant information about our decision. If you believe this decision was made in error, you can reply to the email and provide us with any additional information within 10 days of receiving it.

You can contact our Credit Support team in the app by selecting Menu (3 bars) → Help and scrolling to the bottom of the page.

I have a transaction dispute question that wasn’t covered in this article, what can I do?

You can contact our Credit Card support team directly in the app by going to Menu (3 bars) → Help.
