  • No more submitting rebate forms or receipts.
  • Automated tracking of purchases and point statuses.
  • Faster payouts and easy redemption via PayPal or gift cards.

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.

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.

  • IMPORTANT NOTE: In order for us to give you credit for your purchases you must disable ad blockers or whitelist the Slickdeals Extension.

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

My thoughts Smilie
How do you get to join, it seems like you need to be on a waiting list? How does it work really, do you create an account, deposit an begging amount, say 10k , setup DD, and as long as you don't withdraw a huge amount, you get 3% interest? is there any limitations? like max amount with 3% interest, or minimum balance?

Do you need 2 Slickdeals rewards account to do these offers twice? (P1 + P2). Or can I get the bonus on the same account for 2 applications?

I applied for this Axos account through the Slickdeals link on Nov 8, but it went to pending review. Axos approved my account on Nov 9. I funded the $250 on Nov 10. Will I still receive the $75 bonus or do I have to submit a ticket to Slickdeals. Any recomendations?

Of course I can. Head to Gemini.com and you can get at least 7.4%... I believe it might be over 8% currently on holding USDT or a Gemini dollar

So both my wife and I did this deal a couple of days ago.
We followed instructions and this is the screen we saw when we activated the CB on AXOS site.
We also funded immediately when we signed up.

While I got several AXOS emails for the new account and funding, we have gotten nothing from SD and I don't see anything about this offer on the Rewards Portal (under Account History).
Where/when will I know if this was properly tracked?

Quote from GrandmaBear :
I was going to make Axos my main bank. However, there was one problem after another. I didn't mind that there were problems and having to call to get things fixed, but the customer support people have absolutely no power to fix anything. And after they establish that they can't fix anything, they just "bump" you up to another support person they call "tier 2" that is equally unable to fix anything. Half the time you get a voicemail when you call support and they frequently won't even call you back.
I got my most of my money out of there because I was concerned if they'd be able to remain solvent with these customer support issues. I am gambling by leaving money with Axos invest (formerly wisebanyon) because I am considered a "founder" and I am not charged the fees everyone else is.
I too was going to make Axos my main bank... moved some checking and savings, opened up invest, started a refi. Then today discovered they used a document I e-signed a month ago to make changes on my homeowner's policy AFTER the refi was canceled (making themselves the sole payee)
I've been unable to get anyone to give me the contact info for the boss of that employee (I have their name and number as they were bold in their request to the insurance company for that change to happen), they say they can't disclose that info Crazy

Quote from Homer3D :
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.
I had the opposite experience; they were constantly asking for strange things like divorce papers from decades ago, statements from my employer stating the dates I was on LOA when I'd already supplied w2s, signed statement they requested, statement fro the disability company with the dates I was on LOA and the amount I was paid. The last straw was getting a "urgent" email from a 3rd party that I had to supply a credit card within 24hrs or lose my rate lock (Which was supposed to be locked until Dec 2) and be subjected to consumer fees (whatever TF those are).

I called my loan officer immediately, but he assured me it wasn't a scam. The fee was for an appraisal I'd been told at the beginning of the process had a waiver on file. I'm asking for less than 50% of the home value so shouldn't be an issue anyway, so it appears it was a way for someone's buddy to make some money (unsure how much though because the fee was never disclosed, just "give us your cc info")

To top it off, after I said I wasn't going to do that they said they'd pull the refi so I said ok, whatever. 2hrs later they reached out to my insurance company and requested a change of the payee on my policy, making themselves the sole payee using an e-signature from the borrower's certificate from last month as my "authorization". That's blatant fraud.

This company is so scammy I'm closing all my accounts!

Axos has HORRIBLE customer service if you read some of the online reviews and ignore the usual fake or self promoting reviews imo. Add in it seems their ethics are HIGHLY questionable according to many of the reviews.

Wish I would have seen the bad reviews before giving them all my info

Yeah from what I have read and seen they are the worst. Most people think all banks are basically the same. Simply not the case, esp. with banks like this who seem to mix fee gouging with customer hostility and utter incompetence from the reviews. They seem to make Wells Fargo look like the pillar of ethics in comparison imo lol.

Well a couple of days ago I logged in to Axos just to check everything out. Without telling me, they started charging me fees on the money I left with Axos invest. I am now in the process of trying to get every $ out of that place as fast as I can. So what I said in the previous post about keeping money in there is no longer true. When a company starts pulling the kind of stuff they did with you and me, its quite a bad sign.
Moving to M1 because the folks on bogle seem to think highly of it. We'll see... They better not get acquired by Axos too.

I'm eyeballing Alliant. They seem to have good reviews and I just need somewhere to get interest on my money that's in a checking for bill pay. It's not much but I hate to leave any money on the table by using a checking that gets no interest.

I think the solution to my problem of having things spread all over the place is to use my BoA account's PFM so I can keep track of everything all in one place. That's mainly what I was after when trying to consolidate my accounts anyway. This way I can keep my trading services, savings all where they're at and hopefully add an interest bearing online checking to the mix

I've been with Alliant for a few years and they are good. This is where I park my liquid savings other than when some (temporarily) better option hits. (NOT like Axos from what I've read here). I had moved most of it to HSBC from another SD deal with temporarily high rates online until they lost their competitive edge on savings rates within a few months.
Now they've sold their accounts to another bank and leaving the game for US savings accounts.

P.S. I don't get why a few are linking us in this savings account thread to "higher rates" which are tied to risk asset forms without even mentioning that until you click on it. 4% APR! Well, that's a cool story but that isn't a savings account. Apples/oranges.
