Let’s run the numbers on 5.25% APY.
After your 3 months of +1.00% APY, you'll keep earning our industry-leading yield (currently 4.25% APY) on every dollar of your uninvested cash.
During the Amazon Employee Perk Promotion (“Promotion”), offered by Wealthfront Brokerage and Wealthfront Advisers, eligible Amazon corporate employees can receive a one-time 1.00% Annual Percentage Yield (“APY”) increase (“Employee Boost”) on the balance in their Wealthfront Brokerage Cash Account. To participate in the Promotion, you must be a current Amazon corporate employee ("Eligible Employee"). Eligible Employees must verify their employment status in the rewards hub once the Cash Account is open. The Promotion is available for a three-month period (“Promotion Redemption Period“) and will end on December 16, 2024. During the Promotion Redemption Period, Eligible Employees who either open and fund a new Wealthfront Brokerage Cash Account or who already have an existing Cash Account, can receive the Employee Boost over the then-applicable standard APY. This boost applies to balances up to a maximum aggregate balance of $125,000 across all of the Eligible Employee’s Cash Accounts (“Maximum Balance“) for a period of three (3) months (“Boost Reward Period“), provided they verify their employment status. The Amazon Employee Perk Promotion is limited in nature, with the Employee Boost only being available to specified Eligible Employees during the Boost Reward Period who take the necessary steps to meet all applicable requirements as stated in the full Terms and Conditions.
Your questions, answered.
Is this an official Amazon perk?
Yes! This is a perk that Amazon Extras and Wealthfront have partnered on together, because Amazon employees are some of Wealthfront’s most valued clients.
What Amazon employees are eligible?
This boost is available to Amazon Corporate employees. To earn this boost, Amazon Corporate employees will need to verify their work email address to confirm they work at Amazon.
How do I add Amazon as my employer?
Within the Wealthfront app, go to your Profile under Settings and add Amazon as your current employer within the Employment Information section.
How do I get this boost?
Clients new to Wealthfront can get the boost when you open and fund a Wealthfront Cash Account, and enter Amazon as your employer during sign up. Once your account is open, visit the Rewards Hub in the Wealthfront app to confirm you work at Amazon. Your boost will be applied within one business day of account funding, as long as you’ve verified employment.
Existing clients with a funded Cash Account can visit the Rewards Hub in the Wealthfront app to confirm you work at Amazon. The boost will be applied within a few hours after verifying employment.
When does this perk end?
You have until December 16, 2024 to get a 1.00% APY boost for 3 months. For new Cash Account clients, your account must be opened and funded, and you must have verified you work at Amazon by December 16, 2024. For existing Cash Account clients, you’ll need to verify you work at Amazon prior to December 16, 2024.
What if I’m already earning an APY boost?
If you’re already benefiting from a 0.50% APY boost, and you earn this 1.00% APY boost, the 1.00% APY boost will take priority, start immediately, and last for 3 months. Your 0.50% APY boost will resume after that time, with a 6 month rolling maximum duration for any APY boosted rate.
Can I earn more than one +1.00% APY Boost?
No, but as a Wealthfront client, you may have the opportunity to earn other types of APY boosts. If you are eligible for our standard APY referral bonus, it will appear in your Rewards Hub on the Wealthfront app and website.
Are there account fees or limits?
The Wealthfront Cash Account has no account fees. Your 1.00% APY boost is limited to the first $125,000 in your account. Any balance over $125,000 earns our base APY, which is subject to change.
What other accounts does Wealthfront have?
