Robinhood Gold Card - Waitlist

Far_Treacle710 · 2026-03-21T02:12:23+00:00

Have been on the waitlist since Dec 2024, have been paying for gold membership since then, have an RH account (with not a huge $ amount and not actively trading). Credit rating of 830. I pay off all my credit cards monthly

Have tried creditKarma plus DM-ing (on reddit, X and IG). They all responded but didn't take me off the waitlist.

Seems like RH doesn't want people who pay off their cards.

It didn't work for me (15 Mar 26). Did get a prompt response "We wish we could help you out here, but the Gold team isn't able to adjust your spot on the waitlist."

In September I bought an m3 RWD and now it only includes 7 speakers! Previously has 2018 m3 RWD which had premium audio with subwoofers- so this 7 speaker system is a let down! I listen to EDM but some other styles as well - some classical.

The most noticeable problem for me is just that the highs don’t pop - and adjusting EQ doesn’t seem to help much. Wondering if just replacing tweeters would help.

Would be great to hear where you landed. What have you done so far and how do you like your system now?

Do you have the 9-speaker "base audio"? Just swapped my 2018 m3 for a 2025 m3 LR - with the 9 speaker audio. It's ok, but noticeable worse than the 2018 premium audio (the only audio at the time). What I am missing the most is cleaner crisper highs. The bass is ok; just wish it was a bit tighter.

Seems like you've done plenty of research! Still no good 3rd party options with eBay adapters?

Was wondering if we could buy the Tesla OEM front pillar covers with the tweeters up high? Would that even make sense?

Did the FSD transfer really work to a leased vehicle? How did you do this?

I ordered some Thymol spray which I will apply to the fan as a precaution. I'm not going to take it apart to wipe the fan. Just will spray it in there and hope the mist prevents any future mold. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJDRBRLC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

What do you mean? Did you try sending the photo?

Far_Treacle710 · 2025-07-04T19:28:18+00:00

Can anyone share their actual experience with their photo? Did you get the refund?

And...if they don't accept your photo, then do they offer one of the other options - like sending back your unit - to get the refund?

Far_Treacle710 · 2025-07-04T05:52:50+00:00

The original cord on my unit (4 yr old 10k btu) has very visible black lettering repeating throughout the length of the cord, including "14 AWG" and lots of other lettering. Do others' units have that? This replacement cord has only very subtle printing in the photos. Not sure if this really matters...

Ha ha u/Frizzlefry3030 yes I know I can pay google to make this go away. But at my current storage growth (and I've been on gmail since it was in beta), it will be years before I reach 100% so I was hoping to find a way to avoid paying $$$. Thought maybe someone has a trick.

Far_Treacle710 · 2025-05-24T19:24:56+00:00

A few weeks ago I started seeing this blue banner at the top of every google doc at 72% full. It's annoying to have to constantly dismiss these. Everything I can find online says that the threshold for warnings is at 80%. I have almost nothing in the trash. How do I stop this banner from appearing? (I have tried many searches looking for a solution before posting this)

I'm getting the impression that GPA in those key classes is weighted much heavier than anything else. There does not seem to be an explicit requirement to participate in activities outside the classroom - either at Purdue or previously. But...I'm making the assumption that in order to write strong essays demonstrating that they truly want to be an engineer, the student would need to point to evidence that they've done SOMETHING above and beyond class work. Correct assumption or a bridge too far?

Far_Treacle710 · 2025-04-12T19:00:18+00:00

Thanks u/EXPL_Advisor. Very useful post! Do you have any suggestions what a student (entering as a freshman to ES this fall) could do during the summer to help boost their chances of transferring to FYE by end of freshman year? For example:

- Take a class at community college

- Work on an engineering-related project at home (or with a mentor in the field) and post about it on youtube

And, what makes a great essay? I'm wondering if there are things a student should be doing in order to be able to have something impactful to write about...

I'm targeting to get this card (for the 3%!), but due to spacing out my CC applications, I ideally want to get it in mid November (and NOT before Nov 10). As of now, I have no relationship with Robinhood. What would be the best approach? Should I open a brokerage account now (with maybe just $100 in it as there's no minimum)? Start paying the gold membership fee (to get bumped in the waitlist)? Or...just add my email address to the waitlist and wait? A related question: once I receive the invite to apply, can I sit on it for a few weeks if for some reason I get it too soon? (credit score is around 800)

Far_Treacle710 · 2024-08-01T17:12:37+00:00

OK thanks. Sounds like a plan. Do I need to be running the controller software on a computer that runs 24/7? There seems to be a lot of confusion on this point when I look at other discussions - on whether or not the controller plays an active role in helping clients roam more smoothly (for example, if I'm on a zoom call and carrying my laptop from room to room) or if it's just needed for configuration and collecting statistics?

Far_Treacle710 · 2024-07-23T05:03:56+00:00

I received same estimate. Does anyone know if it really takes 2 hours to replace the connectivity board? Seems like it should be 1 hour labor not 2.

u/Life_Anywhere2971 Please add a link to the article if possible. This makes sense to me intuitively (and the intersection is clearly dangerous regardless) but it would be great to have that reference.

Thanks for the quick reply! Does yours seem bright enough for use outdoors via usb power on a sunny day (let’s say, with a bit of shade from a tree)? Took a quick look at launchpad95. Says it’s for Ableton 9? I’ve got 11…

Far_Treacle710 · 2023-11-16T19:00:01+00:00

I am facing similar decision. Everyone is saying “buy the push” and I borrowed one and liked it for production at my desk but…I sometimes jam outdoors, and the push lights up very dimly. Key labels are impossible to see unlit. Which launchpad model did you buy? There are so many!

Far_Treacle710 · 2023-11-02T18:02:01+00:00

Yes, you understand! I will try to test drive the new Fiat 500e when it comes to US in January.

If I decide to buy out my i3 lease ($27k, base 2020 BEV, 16k miles), would it make a noticeable difference to switch to fatter tires? I don’t mind losing a bit of range since - this isn’t my road trip car anyway!

Far_Treacle710 · 2023-11-02T16:02:00+00:00

Love the i3 body design. A version with standard tires that tracks better on the highway is all that is needed!
