After lots of feedback and some odd data we saw on our end, here's some additional recommendations:
Reminder: If you have other Cashback extensions DISABLE THEM - they could definitely try and claim credit for the transaction
Once you click 'Apply Now', complete the entire process at that time. This includes opening the account AND fully funding it with at least $125.
If you add $20 in one transaction and $105 in another, this may not track correctly. Deposit the full $125 all at once (recommend using the debit card option) to ensure your data tracks to us correctly
Not doing these things will at the very least delay processing your cashback and could potentially result in us not receiving your data as an eligible account.
Thanks,
AJ
I switched to sofi through slickdeals and have had nothing but an excellent experience with them. I got my dd bonus almost immediately. I sound like a shill but I'm not, been with slick deals way before sofi. I don't think I'll ever bank with anyone else again. 2% cb credit card and interest on my checking, I'm with them for the long haul.
Hey All!
Just wanted to pop in to say we're really excited to start using Slickdeals Rewards to handle these types of bonuses going forward. We've received a LOT of feedback around things that didn't work so well in the past with our rebates.
I actually did this process myself this morning to make sure it's working automatically and so long as you've installed our Extension and enrolled in Slickdeals Rewards it works seamlessly!
For step 5: Should I see that I completed the steps correctly at the link provided, or is that only after 65 days?
If not, is there any indication by the extension that everything was done in order?
I didn't close the window used to open the account, but I didn't fund the account immediately (Did debit card after seeing direct transfer required verification...) :/
This should be okay! You should see something in your rewards account by late next week with a pending status. Submit a support ticket so we can track it if you don't see it and we'll work with SoFi to make sure it's corrected

It's primary business is student loans. Reading up it seems to be a major player on the refinancing side of it, and also is in the business of issuing loans also. It did hit a bump in the road in 2018 due to what could charitably be considered fraudulent advertising, coupled to predatory behavior (refinancing loans and making them MORE expensive), and of course in 2020 there was this minor disruption called COVID-19.
Quote
:
This company advertised student loan savings of more than $20,000. That promise was misleading
The FTC claimed SoFi "made prominent false statements about loan refinancing savings in television, print, and Internet advertisements," in some cases touting savings double that of what borrowers would actually achieve by signing up with them.
SoFi's ads boasted that its products led to people saving more than $20,000 on average. But, in its calculations, the company excluded student loan borrowers for whom refinancing resulted in a longer, and sometimes more expensive, repayment timeline than they had held prior, according to the FT
Reference the company's soundness for Direct Deposit. The SoFi Money side is a bank, and is FDIC insured. After the Samsung Money reference, I did a cursory search and I would simply advise a consumer know their rights with a Credit Card versus a Debit card, and the hugely reduced Federal Protections for Debit Card users. I do NOT know the rules for a Debit card that accesses an FDIC insured account, and gets fraudulently cleaned out. Then again I avoid Debit Cards except for things like rebates.
Between the SD browser extension and this SoFi account, you obviously are the product, and as I'm not in the field I have no idea of the value that kind of data generates. I would love to hear anyone's data tracking info from people who have the SD extension. I did track and find out many years ago with an Amazon Fire Tablet that unless you forced stopped every app, many kept sending info home long after you "closed" them. Android is much better behaved, or at least it is for me, but I have minimal Social apps.
I did catch this news release, but this is less than 1% of the loans granted in any one year. I have no idea how the upcoming budget will affect their core business model, but since the the SoFi Money account is FDIC, as long as you make sure you accounts are ONLY in the FDIC insured portion, they will be insured up to whatever the current limits are.

:
The student loan forgiveness will be granted through the Borrower Defense to Repayment program. The program, which was established with formal regulations and procedures under the Obama administration in 2016, provides student loan forgiveness to students who were misled, defrauded, or otherwise harmed by predatory colleges and universities – often, for-profit schools.
… if you gotta ask learn to do your own dd. But yea it did. It's currently at low 15. I think you want to see a dip buy to 14.80 area or it hold this area and your stoploss under 14.78 you can always buy back in. Your upside is at least 17. So you're seeing a risk v reward of .22 down vs $2 up that's a 9-1. However if it breaks 14.80 I'd cut it and just readd. I'm a paper handed bitch.
Does it stack with any of SoFi's promotional bonus? like $50 stock, or $25, or $100 something?
I bought their shares at 18.5, holding that shit but it dipping hard, writing calls worth pennies don't even help much when it's freefalling. I saw it got huge FTDs built up by shorters end of June so it's due for a spike up, except no timeframe could be end of July, August, or they time it with positive news...
