## What you get

A **free stock reward** with a cash value between **$7 and $175**. The cash value is spent entirely on a whole or fractional share of one of **26 large-cap US companies** (the two biggest S&P 500 names in each of the top 13 sectors by market cap). Robinhood publishes the distribution: roughly 96% of participants receive $7–$8 (about £5.25–£6 at the 2026 average USD/GBP rate of 1.33), around 0.9% receive $10, and around 0.1% receive $175.

## How to claim

1. Open the invite link **https://join.robinhood.com/ehsanh-4f99a80** and start a new Robinhood UK brokerage account application.
2. Complete UK identity verification and get approved. (The ISA product does not qualify for this reward.)
3. Link your UK bank account inside the app.
4. Complete a deposit **within 14 calendar days** of approval — this is the trigger condition.
5. When notified, open **Earn stock** in the app (or **Rewards** on the web) and pick one of the 26 available companies. Unclaimed stock rewards may expire after 60 days.

## Pro tip — the 14-day clock starts at approval

The most common reason UK users lose this reward is the 14-calendar-day deposit window, which starts the moment the account is approved rather than when you get round to funding. Link your bank and push a deposit through the same day the account opens — bank links sometimes need a re-authentication step and a failed first transfer can burn several days. Then set a reminder for **day 55** after the reward appears, because claiming is a separate action from earning and unclaimed rewards may expire at 60 days.

## Selling and withdrawing

- The reward stock can be **sold 3 trading days** after you claim it
- Proceeds can be reinvested in other holdings immediately after selling
- To **withdraw** the cash value you must keep it in the account for **30 days** from claiming
- After that 30-day window, withdrawals of reward proceeds are unrestricted

## US withholding tax

The fair market value of the reward at claim time is US-sourced income and subject to **US Non-Resident Alien withholding tax at 30%**, deducted automatically and grossed up by Robinhood. Example: a **$7 net reward** appears as a $7 stock deposit plus a $3 cash credit and a $3 cash debit — $10 gross income, $3 withheld — and is reported on your annual **US IRS Form 1042-S**. UK tax on any gains or dividends is your own responsibility; a general investment account is not tax-sheltered like an ISA.

## Eligibility

- UK resident and Robinhood UK customer
- Never previously held a Robinhood UK brokerage account
- Approved for a Robinhood UK brokerage account
- Linked bank account and a completed deposit within 14 calendar days
- Signed up via an invite link (not a direct app install)
- Claimed before 23:59 UTC on 8 September 2026

## Robinhood vs other UK free-share offers

| App | Reward | Requirement | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinhood UK | Share worth $7–$175 | Approval + linked bank + deposit | 14 days |
| Trading 212 | Free share up to £100 | Make a deposit | 10 days |

These are separate brokers with separate new-customer terms, so many UK investors claim all three.

## FAQ

### What is the Robinhood UK referral link for 2026?

**https://join.robinhood.com/ehsanh-4f99a80** — start a new Robinhood UK brokerage application from that link, get approved, link your bank and deposit within 14 calendar days to receive a free fractional share reward worth $7–$175.

### Does Robinhood use a typed referral code?

No. Robinhood's UK invite programme is link-attributed. The attribution is captured when you begin the application from the invite link, not by typing anything into a code field.

### How much do I need to deposit?

Robinhood's terms require a linked bank account and a completed deposit within 14 calendar days of approval; no minimum figure is published for the reward. A real, funded deposit inside that window is the qualifying condition.

### When can I sell the reward stock?

3 trading days after claiming. To withdraw the cash proceeds you must hold the value in the account for 30 days from the claim date.

### Does it work for a stocks & shares ISA?

No — Robinhood's terms state the invite programme does not apply to opening a Robinhood stocks & shares ISA. Open a brokerage (general investment) account through the invite link instead.

### Is Robinhood UK safe?

Robinhood U.K. Ltd is authorised and regulated by the FCA, holds client money and custody assets under FCA client asset rules, and eligible claims are covered by the FSCS up to £85,000 per eligible person, per firm. FSCS covers firm failure, not investment losses.
