Its terms state that a referrer cannot earn multiple deposit matches by referring multiple people, so the $500 match is once ever. Only the APY boost repeats, and even then it extends the duration rather than raising the rate.","finePrint":["This does not pay per referral. Wealthfront's terms state you cannot earn multiple deposit matches as a referrer by referring multiple new clients.","The maximum stated values are a $281.25 APY boost and a $500 deposit match, for a combined ceiling of $781.25 if you qualify for both.","Referring more people extends the boost duration rather than increasing the rate. Your APY is never raised by more than 0.75% at once, and total boost duration is capped at 6 months across all promotions.","The overall limit is $1,000 of total reward value per person on a rolling 12 months. The body of the terms words it as cannot equal or exceed $1,000.","The APY boost applies to a maximum aggregate balance of $150,000, and the deposit match to $100,000 of net deposits at 0.50%.","Wealthfront's published terms do not address where you may share your link. They do require you to authorize Wealthfront to disclose to anyone you refer that you are a client and may be compensated.","Wealthfront Advisers is a registered investment adviser, and participants represent that they are not engaged in the investment advisory or brokerage business and will comply with any securities laws that apply."],"ruleIds":[],"programDomain":"wealthfront.com","programUrl":"https://www.wealthfront.com/promotional-terms","sources":[{"label":"wealthfront.com promotional programs terms","url":"https://www.wealthfront.com/promotional-terms","checkedOn":"2026-07-21"},{"label":"wealthfront.com cash boost promotion page","url":"https://www.wealthfront.com/cash/boost","checkedOn":"2026-07-21"}],"needsVerification":false}
