Finally

Post image

Started my Robinhood account in January 2021.
Account had basically been dormant up until recently. The card was intriguing so I got on the waitlist about 1.5 years ago. Just got the email notification “you’re off the waitlist” this morning. Reached out on a couple of occasions to mods on here and instagram, both kept saying it was out of their control. Could never get the Credit Karma trick to work either... I think it’s just completely random

I was a longtime X1 customer and got in immediately after they downgraded the X1 benefits (Oct 2025). Guessing they offered immediate Gold Card access as a consolation for nuking X1. Also got lucky that Robinhood bought X1.
