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).

Had no issue with SD rewards, but not this time.
Opened one account on 10/04 and funded in the same window. It shows "Ineligible" in SD rewards account history for now. And not sure how to contact SD since Axos is not listed as a retailer in their form

same time line as you...same situation. I see AXOS in account history but no points.
i contacted support today.
at the bottom of the drop box of retailers, there is "--" , I used that.

my support got acknowledged and got this email within a few hours. I guess see what happens.

Hi there,

Please allow us some time to look into this for you. We will update you shortly.

My click-through & account opening was never tracked, even though I did everything exactly as I was supposed to (the SD icon remained grey the entire time, but I was assured earlier that should not be an issue). I also submitted a support request via SD. Hopefully they can take care of this manually.

The same thing happened to me, I did this deal the same day as SoFI. SoFi is already pending, but Axos shows Ineligble. I just created a support ticket as well with '--' as the retailer since its not listed. Spent a few good minutes scrolling through all retailers to find Axos.... Hopefully Slickdeals staff can resolve this issue, seems alot of folks experience it.

Update:

After submitting a ticket to customer service last weds, CS emailed me today and adjusted my Axos click thru for the 7500 points.

The pieces of info I submitted in my initial ticket was a screenshot of my axos account and a screenshot of the deposit cleared in my account.

The intial reply email said the points were adjusted but it was not there. I replied to email and they got to me within the hour. Points added and ready to redeem.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the update. My account is still showing 0 points and no activity & no follow-up yet from SD support. Hopefully I can get a resolution similar to yours!

Update: I was able to get the 7500 points manually added to my SD Rewards account by SD customer service, after providing screenshots of my initial deposit, as well as screenshots of my initial order with Axos via SDs. Then I was able to cash out $70 (7000 points) via PayPal. The remainder I can either roll over & wait for another deal & use PP or cash out now with a $5 debit card.

Not worth jumping through all the hoops for just $75 and funding an account with Axios Bank which has a bad reputation and terrible reviews from its own customers. Besides, SD's cumbersome instructions are bad enough as it is. I've wasted too much time and effort already on navigating and researching the viability of this deal and the bank.

No one has posted this info so I will. Hope it helps!

YMMV, based on methods you use to sign up and/or fund your account.
  • Have your DL handy for pics of front and back.
  • Be ready for them to make you take a selfie live. Yeesh- bed head!
  • Since SD wants it to show as funded for $250 (or more) immediately, I chose their fastest method (the first one they suggest on their options page- a pull from your bank).
  • My first Axos verification code sent to my phone went to spam, but I found it from my spam notifications area.
  • If you choose to do the pull from your bank (fastest), they are requiring you to log in to your bank from the Axos screen. Be prepared for your bank sending you a code verification on your phone.
  • After you get through all of the login hoops with your bank's credentials, be very patient. It took them a solid 5-6 minutes for the verification process' last step "almost finished" before proceeding with allowing the finalization of funding. My funding was approved but the account balance still shows $0.00 initially. I understand how transfers work and I do have a shot of it stating the funding was successful.
  • No immediate record in the SD rewards portal, but I understand that will take a little time. I followed all instructions to the letter.
  • I do have the proof for each step if needed. This may save your bacon, so I suggest you do as well.

I am confident this SD bonus verification should be relatively painless, especially compared to the account opening and funding process. That part is not for the faint of heart.

Terrible customer service, if anything happens or you need help AT ALL you're shit out of luck. For a financial institution this is kind of a big deal....


RECOMMEND YOU PASS ON THIS "DEAL", ITS ONLY BEING PUSHED BC SLICKDEALS KICKBACK
