Comparison brief

Robinhood Gold Card vs. Citi Double Cash

Browse all comparisons

Robinhood Gold Card advertises a full point of extra reward over Citi Double Cash — 3% versus 2%, both modeled as flat, no-category rates. The catch is availability and cost: Robinhood Gold Card is still waitlist/invite-only and requires an active Robinhood Gold subscription ($50/year) plus an individual investing account, while Citi Double Cash is open to anyone today with no subscription, no waitlist, and no annual fee.

These cards earn different reward currencies, so no highest rate is labeled; a larger multiplier does not necessarily mean more value. Listed rates can still be subject to portal, spending-cap, or category-selection rules; review each card's details before deciding.
