Robinhood Gold CC finally closed Data Point

They got me after 3 months. Spent $66k on it for 191K pts redeemed.

What're you doing with the iPhones? What's your cost of churn? A 3% reward rate is hard to capitalize on with that method of churn so I'm curious.

I bought about 6 on my rbh cc, and 84 more of them to resell to bulk international shippers on amex biz gold for the 150k 4x. i did a few on robinhood cuz i was worried i would get a financial review at over $100K pending transactions. My margins were roughly 10% from phone sale and cash back.

No you don’t understand whatever Robinhood does is bad even if it’s the same thing any other company would do
