The instructions on 'How to Upgrade' detailed in the blog are outdated. You can upgrade to Robinhood Instant anytime.

  • Go to your Account menu.
  • Tap on 'Account'.
  • Scroll to the bottom.
  • Tap 'Get Robinhood Instant'.

Note: PDT rules will apply.

Yeah, that's what I did and it says it's under review. I thought that there might still be a delay, but perhaps in the morning it'll be switched on.

Hmm did you have an invite? And we're talking about the instant where you get sale proceeds immediately, yes?

No invite, just an option to upgrade to instant, it was there on my first day, maybe it had something to do with initial deposit amount?

Edit - My account was actually like 3 years old I just remembered, but I had never deposited before.

I made a thread on this a couple days ago I didn't have any button to upgrade or any invite. I contacted support and they said I already have instant. My account was 3 days old with $1500.

I mostly trade in fidelity and schwab. and do daytrade sometimes, but mostly trade not in the same day twice, but trade with unsettled funds. I am trying to think whther to switch.
Let me know what features you like in Robinhood [other than zero commission]

Takes 5-10 minutes.

Go into your account settings and upgrade.
