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!
Still waiting on my slickdeals "bonus" from a month ago on some stuff I bought from Macy's. I contacted customer service and they said it's still being processed… from a month ago, don't hold your breath on these "bonuses"
Can you all please give some additional information about when you opened the accounts and did the deposits? I can have Support prioritize the tickets if you want to submit a new one - it sounds like these are both from an older SoFi rebate. Unless they were done after July 16, 2021 they are part of our former rebates program and we're using SD Rewards going forward to improve that process.
Also note that if the process isn't followed step-by-step explicitly (especially if you use adblockers or other cashback sites) it will slow the process exponentially and may result in the order not tracking at all.
Thanks,
AJ
I opened my account on August 4. So this is under the SD Rewards program as I understand. In my SD Rewards portal, I see pending rewards of $0 but that's about it. The $75 is not shown here in the rewards page. even after completing all the steps correctly.
I have opened up a support ticket. I still hope to get the money.
My 7500 pts rebate is available to redeem now (2 wks after my account is opened). However, I can redeem the whole 7500 pts to my Paypal account because I can only redeem $10, $20 or $50 for Paypal. Unless I do other rebate deals or pick another gift card, I am out $5 rebate.

:
It is an option but Visa GC is not cash. Can I do bill pay or whatever to spend $5 Visa GC? Sure, but why do I need to do that. There is no reason for SD to limit Paypal to $10, $20 $50 but Visa is $5, $10, $20.
Hi there,
This is due to PayPal charging us a service fee per redemption and we don't deduct that fee from the user, but is not viable for us to do at amounts lower than $10.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

I have no issue with the minimum redemption set to $10 but why not allow us to redeem any amount over $10? To redeem my 7500 pts, you have to pay 3 redemption fees ($50 PP, $20 PP, $5 Visa) instead of one redemption fee of $75 PP. I would think one $75 PP redemption costs less for you than 3 redemptions.

Hello there,
Please note we don't pay out normal order-based cashback until the return window has closed, otherwise we would have a large number of fraudulent cashback scenarios.
You will receive your rewards when Macy's return window has closed - this is the reason it is still processing.
Feel free to follow up on your support ticket if you have additional questions and a member of our team will reach back out to you when we have an update.
If you're experiencing any issues with this recent SoFi cashback offer, please submit a support ticket here and a member of our team will gladly assist you.

We hear you and appreciate the suggestion as we are considering something similar in the near future.
We're also considering letting users add their PayPal specific email, but there are security implications if we do so. We are being cautious about our choices for redemptions as we keep building and are constantly evaluating ways we can improve.
Can't comment on the specific deal, but Slickdeals is STILL "investigating" my Fios order from February and refusing to pay its bonus, saying that Verizon has no record of the transaction even though I submitted receipts as proof.
So don't count on the SD bonus if that's a factor.
But watch this get deleted by a moderator in 3... 2...

Hi there,
We apologize this is taking longer than expected. We are discussing this matter directly with Verizon and are hoping to hear an update soon. Thank you so much for your patience and continued support while we are trying to navigate through our Beta program. Please rest assured that we will follow up with you once the issue has been resolved.

That's the same answer I got on July 8th, using different words.
"We heard back from Verizon and they specifically said your Order ID wasn't found in their system but we are going the extra step to reach out directly now because we saw the screenshot for your order."
I asked in my ticket if there was any concept of accountability; it sounds like the answer is "no".
Experian soft (?) pull. The application prompt requests your SSN for "identity verification" and states your credit score will not be affected. The application will not be approved if your Experian credit file is frozen.
