Our Referral Program

We think investing is better with friends, so for everyone you invite to join, you’ll both earn a reward stock. As soon as your friend signs up and links their bank account, we’ll credit each of your accounts with a reward stock. Keep in mind: You can receive up to $500 in reward stocks each calendar year, so feel free to spread the word.

How to Claim Your Reward Stock

Once your reward stock is ready, we’ll send you a notification prompting you to claim your reward. If you forget to tap on the notification, you can claim your reward stock by navigating to Messages to check if you have new claimable stocks under Robinhood Rewards.

How We Choose Your Reward Stock

Each stock is chosen randomly from our inventory of settled shares. The value of the share you receive could be anywhere between $3 and $225, and fluctuates based on market movements. Each stock is selected from our inventory based on the total value and price of each share.

But for some investors, it might actually be worth it

John has found investing to be more interesting and profitable than collectible trading card games. He seeks growth and value stocks in the U.S., in Germany, and beyond!

Free is free

Robinhood is a pioneer of offering free stuff to investors. It was one of the first brokerages to offer commission-free trading in 2013. Now it's offering "free stock" (well, one free share of stock) to new account holders.

Random isn't random

Microsoft, Visa, and Johnson & Johnson are great companies. When I signed up for my Robinhood account, Johnson & Johnson's shares were trading just under $150/share, and Microsoft and Visa were at about $200/share.

Something isn't nothing

As you probably guessed, I didn't get a $200 share of Visa. Instead, I'm now the proud owner of a share of Helix Energy Solutions Group ( NYSE:HLX). I had to laugh, because Helix is an oilfield services company, an underperforming sector I've been saying investors should avoid. Lucky me!

Nothing isn't something

Robinhood isn't alone in advertising a too-good-to-be-true perk for signing up. Brokers Merrill Lynch and TradeStation both advertise cash rewards for new accounts, of "up to $600" and "up to $5,000," respectively. That sounds much better than a lousy $3.60 share of stock!

The deal isn't bad

Earning 3.6% in two days is better than earning 0.5% in 90 days (Merrill) or 1% in 270 days (TradeStation). And it's certainly better than earning nothing because you don't have thousands of dollars to invest.
