Warning, I opened a SoFi Active Invest account using these instructions, I also opened a SoFi Money account a couple days prior to that, and after funding the Invest account with $1,000 and the Money account with $125 prior to that, and the SoFi website showed both accounts were funded properly status, the Slickdeals Rewards Account History page at https://loyalty.slickdeals.net/overview, showed all of my SoFi Orders as "Status: Ineligible", there are 4 total Order entries there for SoFi, including the SoFi Money account which was funded with $125. I see that "Ineligible" as a Status is explained if you hover over the "STATUS" column (i) button that is on the Rewards Account History page, explains that a status of Ineligible = "You did not purchase a valid item for an offer". I had the Slickdeals browser addon enabled in the browser, once clicking on the deal link in each of those two SoFi deal pages on Slickdeals.net, the browser addon plugin showed that the promo would be active, and I funded the account within 5 minutes of account opening in both cases, I did not have any pop up blockers active, the web browser was specifically allowing SoFi.com and Slickdeals.net domains, and I left the Rewards website open in another tab to be sure, no windows or browsers were closed during the submission and the funding of the account in either account case here. Everything was done to a tee, yet all of my orders in the Rewards Account History page show "Status: Ineligible' for every one of my 4 x SoFi orders.

There is no case that a SoFi order in my account shows anything except 'Status: Ineligible'. Take this as a bit of a warning. I have opened up a ticket in any case to get this resolved, as according to what I mentioned prior the "Status: Ineligible" according to the Account History page, means "You did not purchase a valid item for an offer", and of course I did in both cases and I took screenshots of every step to prove it. You may experience the same result even if you follow everything to the tee in the promo offers. This is not cool, and I'm certainly dissapointed currently with Slickdeals for having to even post this as a warning.
So far the same thing is occurring for me with the SoFi investment account that I opened, I also followed the instructions exactly. I submitted a ticket and will see what happens.

After 4 more days of waiting and after opening a support ticket for it, and being told to wait 2 - 10 more days, I did get 1 of my 5 orders in SD Rewards Account History to show Pending 7500 points ($1000 amount and 7500 rewards points, which I believe would equate to $75 USD back to me for the reward for funding the Invest account with $1000 USD if all is succesful) for the status, which was for the Active Invest account funding. The other 4 x SoFi orders (I have 5 total SoFi orders showing in the Account History for Rewards, which all mention the word "Wealth Account Created" and "Wealth Account Funded" on them) show Ineligible for status when checking them now. Check your account status now to see if that Ineligible order for Invest has changed to Pending status, and reply back here.

Followed directions and have 7500 points pending for Money account and I figured why not do it again for the Invest account?

Also did a screen recording of the entire process and screenshots of everything.

Thanks for the $$$ slickdeals Smilie.

A /r/WallStreetBets user did a write up of this company. Apparently SoFi wants to be a "one stop shop" for consumer finances. They have their own payment processor, they let you take loans, etc. SoFi is allegedly projected to become a bank later this year or in 2022.

The SOFI stock also has great potential for memes.

Jack of all trades, master of none.
WORST FINANCIAL INSTITUTION EVER.

Was told to hit confirm button when notice came. Hit confirm button twice, never got my shares, only a lame excuses.
Had an after hours transaction to deal with and was unable to reach anyone (they close at 5PM PST versus larger brokers who are open late).
Their systems are terrible.
Customer service will keep you on the phone forever.
Excuses, hot air.
Use SoFi only if you like to lose money.
SoFired. Yes, I'm closing my account after only a few days. Will never, ever return. Huge, costly mistake.

Sofi has been a nightmare. Run away. Worst financial institution ever.

I only have an iPad and an android phone. I can't find any way to add the slickdeals extension using these two devices.

Quote from SociableWren1282 :
From my personal experience and most of the experiences I've read about, Slickdeals never delivers on their cash back promises. Their TOS on these deals say that they can refuse you for whatever reason, even though they almost always tell you that you didn't do something properly anyway.

Not giving SD clowns my money.
agreed 100%
