Ugh, this is really distressing, mostly because I had just jumped ship onto this card portfolio and was pretty happy with it.

I guess 2.25% is still fairly good.

At least it sounds like there's a year or more to assess.

Not sure why people so upset about inability to pay income tax. I guess they enjoy manufactured spending $1k in cash back (0.8% delta) per year on IRS 1.8% card fee (approx $100k tax payment to IRS)
Honestly, the idea of having to interact with Robinhood is kind of a non-starter... they are very amateurish as a broker, worse IMO than old legacies like Merrill. Maybe they are slowly catching up, but I have no interest in managing investments from my phone and the idea that they didn't even support things like tax lot election (until almost 2025 it seems) was just nuts. Absolutely would not trust them to do dividend classification right, etc. Would probably sooner park $1m with Merrill but that's going to be an annoying bar.
