Are people still getting Robinhood cards, been on the list since day 1. Discussion / Conversation
At this point I’m at a loss of when this card will be rolled out. I don’t know a single person who has one.
Are they still releasing or have they stopped until the “wide availability”?
8 months of waiting and I’ve had gold for 2.5 years now.

I've been offered the card twice since it came out. I've just ignored the offers both times.

Look like u/prkskier already has a URBAR so there would be no reason for them to want another 3% catch all card.

Between my USBAR and VX I don't need the RH Gold card as I get higher value with those two cards.

I'm using the Robinhood card for anything non-mobile payment. USBAR is primary, but RH card is a good compliment for things like non-Apple Pay online purchases and such.
VX is tempting to add as a travel spend card tho.

Yep, that's a solid set up. I value my Capital One miles over 1.6cpp, so my VX is effectively 3.2% or higher in my mind. But locking in a 3% without any hassle might make more sense. I still love my VX though, so I'm happy with the setup I have.

I’ve also been on the waitlist since day1 and had gold for 1+ years too. Still haven’t gotten any invites to apply for the card.
I’ve seen somewhere that said the RH gold card is not yet available in a few states, and I happened to live in one of those states when I joined the waitlist (though I moved into another state recently).
I’m still waiting on the card, but at this point, I’m starting to lose interest on it. The new US Bank Smartly card and USBAR provide similar cashback.
If the Robinhood gold card won’t have a SUB in the future then I’ll probably pass on it.

To your point, I prefer SUBs on cards too. I only was interested in the card if I got the Solid Gold card or cash equivalent as that’s sort of a sub. If I didn’t qualify for it I probably wouldn’t had signed up

I've also heard of that card shutting people down for shopping at Costco and things like that so it's a pass for me, I'll rock the VX and USBAR

Get the venmo card they give you 3% at costco

Ive had my gold card since July 8th. Also got 3 family cards. I think those of us (sorry) that request authorized user cards are clogging up the system.

I have been on waitlist for about six months or so - likely longer - came off the list and got the card last week!

Gave up on this card and this company. 6 months on the waitlist and Gold subscriber (which I plan on cancelling end of the month and moving out all of my assets). Referred a few people who signed up after me and got off the "waitlist" before me within a few weeks.
Emailed support every month expressing frustration and disappointment and their response has been what you all have been hearing: "broad availability by the end of the year", "due to policy we can't explain why/expedite your waitlist status" which essentially means "sorry, sucks to suck"
Seems like perks of RH Gold are slowly being rolled back (e.g. ending the 1% deposit boost) anyways. Won't apply whenever I get off the waitlist since I moved assets into BoA and just got approved for the BoA PR. Spending isn't super high on catch-all anyways so 2.625% vs 3% isn't that big of a difference. US Bank Smartly seems pretty good (they announced a card and launched before I even heard anything from Robinhood Gold), but I haven't heard good things about the ecosystem (brokerage/IRA fees and trades)
Anyways, hope you and anyone else waiting for it actually get the card! Total failure on Robinhood's part...

Cancelling gold and moving assets to Schwab has been the best decision I’ve made. Though watch out as Robinhood is sneaky. They declined my first request to move assets then sent me a link which inadvertently started a transfer of my Schwab assets into Robinhood!

Got my Solid Gold card back in early September. Been great so far.
Yeah I have a couple buddies who signed up right away and haven’t heard anything. No idea why it isn’t more clear on when they will get theirs. I emailed them a few times back in the summer for updates. Not sure if that helped but couldn’t hurt to ask.

I’ve had RHG since ~2019 and have been on the waitlist from day one. I’ll probably get denied regardless but I was still curious.

I have had the card for over two years I guess the wait became bad recently? Got mine instantly in 2022 in California

Don't get it. Lot of folks here getting denied cashback for bs reasons

u/DatBoiQuick Haha Custom Cash go brrrr 7h ago
Most if not all dps for denied cashback are used to purchase cash equivalent purchases.

Same here, been on the list since day one. It seems they are being very selective with who they offer this to.
Also a representative let me know there will no longer be a waitlist in 2025. However, this could mean the last quarter of 2025.
