Open account, pick your stock
Sign up here to get started and get your first stock for free. Certain limitations apply.
Once you are approved and link your bank account or debit card, you’ll earn a specified dollar amount and be able to pick your gift stock from a list of America’s leading companies.
You can use the cash value toward fractional shares of the companies offered. Fractional shares are pieces, or fractions, of whole shares of a company. The list of companies you can choose from are selected by market cap for their respective sectors.
Make sure to link your bank account or debit card in order to earn your gift stock. For details, review Link your accounts.
The cash value you receive could be anywhere between $5 and $200. Keep in mind that approximately 99% of customers will get stock worth $5. You can use this reward to claim a fractional share of a stock.
You’re allowed to sell your gift stock 3 trading days after you claim it. Once you’ve sold it, you’re free to use the proceeds from the sale towards other stocks that you want to invest in.
If you want to withdraw the proceeds, however, you must keep the cash value of that stock in your account for at least 30 days after claiming it. After that 30-day window, there are no restrictions on withdrawing the proceeds.
If you receive $10 worth of stock and proceed to sell the share you pick, you won’t be able to withdraw that $10 until 30 days have passed.
Robinhood Financial LLC (“Robinhood”) fractional stock reward offer is subject to the following terms and conditions.
Eligibility: The Fractional Stock Reward Offer is only valid for the following 2 groups:
Offer: For eligible customers, Robinhood will provide a certain dollar amount of rewards in the customer’s individual Robinhood taxable brokerage account, and the eligible customer must use that dollar amount entirely on purchases of whole or fractional shares of stocks that Robinhood makes available through this program. The 26 stocks that are available to choose from are selected by choosing the 2 largest S&P 500 companies within the top 13 sectors based on market cap, per September 24, 2024 data shown by TradingView, an unaffiliated entity. Occasionally, Robinhood’s inventory of settled shares may not include any given stock among this group for various reasons, including if Robinhood is out of inventory for any given stock or fractional stock. Neither receipt of a share or a fractional share of stock through this program nor identification of a particular security in communications related to this program constitutes a solicitation of the security, investment advice or recommendation of any security, transaction, account type, investment strategy involving securities, or order. The cash value that an eligible customer receives that must be spent on stocks available in this program is between $5 and $200. Approximately 99% of participants will receive a cash value of $5, approximately 0.9% of participants will receive a cash value of $10, and approximately 0.1% of participants will receive a cash value of $200. All eligible customers who fulfill the conditions of this program will receive a cash value that they can only use to purchase whole or fractional shares pursuant to this program.
For the pricing of fractional shares, Robinhood will endeavor to price fractional shares at the last trade price. While Robinhood endeavors to price fractional shares as of the time that the reward is claimed, there may be a small lag time, such as a minute, between when the reward is claimed and the fractional shares are priced.
Limitations: Rewards will be credited only if the referred Robinhood individual brokerage account is approved and the reward is claimed within 60 days through the Robinhood platform. Rewards that aren’t claimed within 60 days will expire. The reward is only credited to a customer’s individual brokerage account, and a customer will not be able to claim the reward unless they have an active Robinhood individual brokerage account in good standing. The reward, when combined with the value received from all other offers in the current calendar year, may not exceed $1,500 per household per year. In the event that Robinhood determines in its sole discretion that there may have been fraudulent activity or a violation of these Terms in connection with the stock referral or the referred customer’s Robinhood individual investing account, Robinhood reserves the right to either decline to grant the whole or fractional share stock reward, or to rescind or liquidate the stock or any related dollar proceeds if the customer sells their stock reward. Limit one offer per qualified referral with a maximum of one individual investing account per referred client. Stock reward will be credited to the enrolled individual investing account within approximately one week after the reward is claimed, though this timeline may be delayed in Robinhood’s sole discretion if, for example, Robinhood determines that there is indicia of fraud or a violation of these Terms. Shares or fractional shares from stock rewards cannot be sold until 3 trading days after the reward is granted. The cash value of the stock reward may not be withdrawn for 30 days after the reward is claimed. Robinhood cannot provide information about someone else’s account or application status. Robinhood reserves the right to decline to grant or rescind a stock reward if Robinhood determines in its sole discretion that there are images or speech in connection with the referrer's referral link that are inaccurate, misleading, offensive, or violates community standards; or infringes on Robinhood's intellectual property rights, constitutes a domain name, creates the potential for confusion as to whether the page or content in question is Robinhood’s, or is otherwise improper. Robinhood reserves the right to change the offer terms or terminate the offer at any time without notice.

Employees, contractors, or persons similarly associated with Robinhood or a Robinhood affiliate; members of their household; employees of any securities regulatory organization or exchange, employees of market makers, and registered representatives or any broker-dealer are not eligible. The offer is only available for personal use, and may not be used for commercial purposes. You represent that you have the necessary consent from your invitee to send them any text or email relating to this offer. By participating, you agree not to text your referral link to any contacts in Washington state.
