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,

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!
I don't own the stock but I really like the their service. Soon I will move my direct deposit to SoFi and make it my primary bank.
Do u think a direct deposit from one of my other bank check accounts would work? I mean it would only need to be for a few months...and I have 3 bank accts....just doing this for a couple hundred $...then drop balance for only what I have earned in their promotion
Wanted to add my comments on sofi as a company, not necessarily this deal.
We were looking to lower my wife's student loan debt from over 8% to something reasonable. With perfect credit we applied to sofi, earnest, and a few other companies. Sofi flat out denied us. We ended up going with earnest and paid off the debt in very short order (and saved a bundle).
Now we get mail all the time saying open an account or refinance your student loan through us. No thank you sofi. Take your offers and shove them!
Sidenote, earnest was awesome. Their pay portal was very clunky, but when we signed with them they covered a $200 dinner bill for us to go out and "celebrate" the new, much lower rate. Top notch earnest! 👌
Do you get $75 cash in your account to spend? Or is it like a credit to use on SD only?
They're points that you can redeem for some gift card options. There is a PayPal option so you can cash out and then transfer to your bank. Be aware that most of the gift cards (including PayPal) can only be redeemed in denominations of $10, $20, and $50. The remaining $5 can be redeemed as a Visa gift card or maybe try to earn more points until you get another $5.

Thanks, so basically I can deposit $120 and redeem the points for $60 in PayPal cards? Then add them to PayPal and transfer $60 to my bank?

You can actually do $70 (50+20). Also the cash would directly deposit to your PayPal account. The site either asks you for the email address or it uses the same as your Slickdeals account. Forgot which. Then from PayPal you can withdraw to any linked bank account.
I'd still like to request a feature to block SD staff posts. I'll see if blocking OP and staff in this post keeps this crap off my feed.
To keep this somewhat in topic, Sofi is a poorly rated financial institution with an avalanche of consumer reports and BBB complaints. You're data is worth more than MAYBE getting some form of reimbursement from this cash grab for bolstering user numbers and data mining.
Opened account 12/13, followed all instructions in OP's post, checked today and got my reward! Also set up direct deposit of 1K and got $100 bonus with SoFi within 1 day. Then removed auto direct deposit without issues.

On that note, we've sunset the old Slickdeals Rebates program. You can read more about that here!
