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.
The $75 bonus offer is provided solely by Slickdeals and is unrelated to any benefits or offers provide by Axos Bank. Axos Bank is not responsible for the $75 bonus.

Slickdeals is pleased to make this offer available to you. Please follow the instructions carefully to help avoid any processing issues. You generally will not see your Axos cashback pending in the portal until after your deposit clears (typically takes about a week).

Please do update

I just did this deal and the SoFi one as well

the SoFi one, the SD extension icon was blue on my chrome browser extension area (top right) and there was a SD pop up box on the right side as well.

this one for AXOS, the SD extension icon was gray and there was no SD pop up box

I hope I am not screwed. I guess I'll see in a couple of days to see if everything registered in the Accounts History of SD rewards.

Both the SOFI and the AXOS registered a click thru in the Rewards section "Account History".
The SOFI rewards is 7500 points 'pending'. SD Rewards emailed me on this.
The AXOS still shows 0 but am a bit relieved it at least showed on click thru history

Not sure but I'm going to assume because SOFI made the initial $125 deposit partially available ($50) indicating the required deposit whereas SOFI still shows $0 in my account from my initial transfer of $250. Oct 5th deposit says pending until Oct 9th. It looks like it will take about 4-5 days for a bank to bank transfer to fully deposit into both accounts. Hopefully the AXOS points show up after that.

Will try to update next week

Right?! The only reason I'm looking to jump from TMobile is because they don't connect to Mint. Only reason, I'd have no other reason to jump away as they're really a no fee no rules/limit acct

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.

Sounds like he's done his research. Thx for telling us what nobody is doing

Etfcu gives 3.3% APY on 20k if you're looking for a higher yield savings account
HM Bradley gives 3% up to 100k as another option
Have you done business with Orion? Because etfcu sounds an awful lot like what Orion was doing. That is, until they just changed their rates without notification.
15 debit transactions is a lot to manage. I think Orion was only 7-8 which was quite a bit easier.

I have nothing in my account history regarding my new Axos account. Just "No recent orders found Eligible orders will appear here after being processed. Please note, this could take 2-10 days" I opened my account via the SD link on 10/7. How long did it take for your click history for this deal to show up?

Don't know what Orion is. I will say etfcu has been offering this for at least two years now. Can't comment on sustainability but use it for as long as you can. 15 transactions are easy. I just do 15 payments through Venmo. Takes about 5 mins. If you want you can probably automate to Amazon reload balance or PayPal.

Applied Sunday, I think I saw the AXOS click thru acknowledgement on Wednesday. I don't know 2-10 days means days or business days. If business, you might have to wait till Tuesday cause of Columbus Day. My deposit is in the AXOS account on Friday so waiting for the SD points now.

How many DD do you have?? 1 job = 1 DD
This is so wrong...its entirely up to the employer. I can have as many bank accounts on my HR portal and up to 5 DD activate at once.

This is the most helpful post in this thread. How did I not know about t-mobile? It's never advertised on bankrate or anywhere.

Need an invite from HM Bradley
I checked out HM and it's not really 3%. It's a bunch of hoops--you have to keep direct depositing and not withdrawing to get the high rate, so there's no way to maintain any desirable savings balance in the account while still getting the rate.

I would just direct deposit a percentage or fixed rate though. Most work places would let you split it. And I'm ok with not spending if I'm treating it like a high savings

For a savings account I would look into prize linked savings accounts like Yotta.
