Additional Slickdeals Rewards Bonus

Slickdeals is offering an additional $75 via Slickdeals Rewards Points when you open a new Axos Bank High Yield Savings account and fund the account with $250 or more after following the instructions below.

This Slickdeals Rewards Bonus is a new way to more accurately track your account opening bonuses with our partners. This differs from the Slickdeals Rebates Program and strives to solve many of the issues you may have encountered in the past. You can learn more about our new Slickdeals Rewards Program here.
  • No more submitting rebate forms or receipts.
  • Automated tracking of purchases and point statuses.
  • Faster payouts and easy redemption via PayPal or gift cards.
Note: the $75 bonus will be sent to your Slickdeals Rewards account within 30 calendar days after you've installed the Slickdeals Shopping Assistant Browser Extension, Enrolled in Slickdeals Rewards, opened & funded your new Axos Bank High Yield Savings Account, and kept the account open for at least 6 months.

To qualify for the additional bonus, please follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Install the Slickdeals Shopping Assistant Browser Extension (if you don't already have it installed) and follow the SD Rewards Prompts here (PC or Laptop Only)
  • Step 2: Follow the additional prompts in the link above to ensure you're enrolled in SD Rewards and your account is registered/signed-in. You need to have an account to track and redeem your rewards.
  • Step 3: Once you're logged into your Slickdeals account, click the the green See Deal button, or the links at the top of the post, and open and fund your new Axos Bank High Yield Savings account. If you are in Classic view, click either of the links at the top of the thread. You must apply through the link on this page in order to receive the $75 bonus.
  • Step 4: Do not close the Axos Bank High Yield Savings window prior to confirming and funding your new account. Closing the window may make you ineligible for the $75 bonus.
    • NOTE: If you do NOT fund the account with the full $250 during this process, you may not receive the bonus. Please be sure to fully fund with at least $250 as soon as you open the account.
  • Step 5: Once you open and fund your new Axos Bank High Yield Savings account, you will be able to track your order here. You should expect to receive your $75 bonus via Slickdeals Rewards Points within 30 calendar days of funding your account and keeping it open for a minimum of 6 months. The initial account opening will show as Ineligible in the Rewards Portal, as it is not associated to a dollar amount. Once your funds clear at Axos Bank, we'll get an update with information about your funded account.
  • Your Axos account must be open for a minimum of 6 months in order to receive the bonus.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for us to give you credit for your purchases you must disable ad blockers or whitelist the Slickdeals Extension. Also, if you use other cashback or coupon extensions, only the one you use last will get credit for your purchase, so if you want your Slickdeals Rewards points, please remember not to activate other extensions while shopping.

Customer Service at AXOS bank is terrible and when you are with them, they try to get rid of you as fast as they can.

Can this Axos account be churned? I remember opening (and closing) one of these accounts earlier this year. Anyone successfully churn it?

Do you consider Voyager safer or better than BlockFi? I've been keeping a lot of savings with BlockFi for 7.6% because I consider them the safest of the bunch, but still learning.. so curious why you think Voyager is more secure? Or you chose them just because it's a bit higher?

scam. i heard you cannot fund your account until Axos send you an email and it forces you to close the window back to the login page which would void your $75 according to SDs

The extension issue is being checked by SD staff and will be fixed shortly. If you followed the instructions in the post, you will receive the $75 bonus.
sd_keets, the SD icon in Chrome is still grey when clicking this Axos link. Will it still track this offer redemption, or should we wait until the issue is resolved? (SD icon turns blue instead of grey)​

As long as you are enrolled in SD Rewards, click through to Axos' site through the "See Deal" link above, and fund your account with $250+, you will receive the $75 bonus

Axos does have great mortgages
I am using Axos for my mortgage and I have to admit it was the smoothest refi I have ever done. As not just a homeowner but also a property investor, I usually have to jump through more hoops than the average person since I have to show income across multiple sources which makes providing 'requested' documentation more of a pain. But Axos made it very simple and relatively painless. I also have a checking account with them that I don't really use. It was just something I opened to get a $500 credit towards closing cost.

For the most part I am happy with Axos. No complaints and I would probably use them again if/when I need to refi/purchase another property. As long as their rates still one of the lowest of course.

Have had the most horrible experience with their customer service. Can never get anyone to get on the phone, always voice mail. Only way to reach them is through their online messaging system. Asking to switch to E-statements took a monumental effort and many MONTHS to accomplish. Afterwards, we received exactly ONE e-statement then they reverted us back to paper statements due to some sort of problem with their systems and we were told it'd take a month for them to fix.

This bank is a joke. I opened a business account with them. It took them a month. Too many hoops to jump through and as others have said dealing with customer service was a joke. There were always issues. I withdrew all my money out of the account and I would never trust them for any serious business. It's not worth the headache especially for $75 of possible SD cashback.

I ended up activating this deal directly from the SD Rewards website ( https://slickdeals.net/loyalty/axos-bank/terms/ ) vs from this thread. Hopefully it's able to be tracked with the SD icon still greyed out.

Quote from lalakers :
Nobody uses a bank for high APY anymore. If you want high APY, crypto is your only answer. Gemini and Celsius both will give you at least a 8% APY if you deposit stablecoins with them (USDC, GUSD, USDT). Both are legit companies so you don't have to worry about losing your money.

I wouldn't say no risk in losing money via crypto staking. For Gemini, if you read the terms it clearly says they are not responsible if the borrower defaults. These are non collateralized loans so you could lose everything. That's why I stay out of this stuff. Not saying everyone should stay out. But you should be aware of the risks

1 DD isn't too bad for ETFCU. Do ACH pushes from other financial institutions get tracked as DD? This does work for a lot of banks.
The main hassle is 15 debit card transactions every month. What counts as debit transaction. Will a Venmo/ Apple Cash deduction count? Then its fairly easy to manage. But yes it's extra work. Also have to make one online login. Not too bad. But can forget to do it.

I certainly don't want to use a debit card for transactions with almost 20k in the account.

ETFCU looks good. Does Paypal transfer count too? I am okay with DD but that 15 TXNs per month. Also, what would it take to become a member of ETFCU?

For HM Bradley can you transfer a lump sum and then split your direct deposit at work, for example deposit only $100 of your check each month and not touch the money to get the high tier. Has anyone successfully done it this way? Is there any minimum for the direct deposit? Looking for feedback from someone currently doing this, thanks.
